Editing A Platform Version Of A Project Is Not Persisted Properly

by ADMIN 66 views

Introduction

As developers, we often encounter issues that seem to defy logic and reason. One such issue is the non-persistent editing of platform versions in a project. In this article, we will delve into the observed behavior, expected behavior, and steps to reproduce this issue. We will also explore the implications of this problem and potential solutions.

Observed/Problematic Behavior

When attempting to edit a platform version of a project using the "Edit Platform Versions" dialog, the changes do not seem to persist properly. The updated changes are visible on the main project page and when viewing the specific version. However, when listing all versions via API or the versions tab, the unchanged versions are displayed.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that listing versions should show the edited platform versions. This means that the changes made to the platform version should be reflected in the versions tab and API listings.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Upload a new version to a project: Create a new version of a project and upload it to the platform.
  2. Edit the platform versions: Open the "Edit Platform Versions" dialog and make changes to the platform version.
  3. List via API or the versions tab: Use the API or the versions tab to list all versions of the project.

Other Observations

The issue is not limited to the versions tab. When clicking on a specific version, the changes are not reflected. However, pinned versions do show the changes properly in the project overview.

Screenshots

To better understand the issue, here are some screenshots:

  • Specific version: Image
  • Pinned versions: Image
  • API listing: Image

Implications

The non-persistent editing of platform versions has significant implications for project management and collaboration. It can lead to confusion, miscommunication, and errors. Developers and project managers need to be aware of this issue and take steps to mitigate its effects.

Potential Solutions

To resolve this issue, the following solutions can be explored:

  1. Re-design the "Edit Platform Versions" dialog: The dialog may need to be re-designed to ensure that changes are persisted properly.
  2. Improve API listings: The API listings may need to be improved to reflect the updated changes.
  3. Enhance versions tab functionality: The versions tab may need to be enhanced to show the updated changes.
  4. Provide clear notifications: Clear notifications can be provided to users when changes are made to platform.

Conclusion
