we use Item Types, but we often encounter situations where we need to clearly distinguish between current and previous revisions. To improve this, we need to add the following features:
Revision Distinction in Relationships:
Relationships should be able to clearly express connections between items of different revisions.
Users need the ability to specify particular revisions when defining relationships.
User-Defined Revision Management:
Users should be able to assign unique names to each revision.
When specifying revisions, users should be able to use either names or automatically generated identifiers.
UI/UX Improvements:
Implementation of an intuitive interface for revision selection and management is necessary.
We need to provide a way to visually distinguish between current and previous revisions.
Data Model Modifications:
Addition of fields to store revision information in the Item Type is required.
Implementation of revision reference functionality in the Relationship model is needed.
Performance Considerations:
We must minimize performance degradation in database queries due to revision management.
If necessary, we should establish an indexing strategy.
Through this feature enhancement, users will be able to manage and reference item revisions more accurately, which will greatly improve the data accuracy and usability of the entire system.
