Upchain plugin should automatically check-in suppressed, checked out children

[sa_george]

In Solidworks plugin, if there is a suppressed child item that is checked out, it will block the checkin of the parent item giving an error (screenshot attached).

Upchain should be capable of handling these checkins better. It is obvious that when a user is trying to checkin the parent, all checked out child items also should be checked in, even if it is suppressed. So the plugin should be capable of looking at such child items, initiate a checkin for the suppressed child item and then checkin the parent.

Hi @sa_george,

The engineering team and I reviewed and discuss on the idea that you have submitted. We would like to get additional information on 

• How should the "automatically check-in suppressed, checked out children" work for you?
• What is it trying to solve?
• When do you used Suppress component when its checked out? And why?
• Is there a difference in behaviour when comparing checking-in a Suppressed Parent with no suppressed children and a Suppress Children with suppressed parent?
