Successor Field

Open robinrosenstock opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Description

There is already a field "Provenance" for Applications. It would be nice to have a field "Successor" as well. Especially when the Overall Rating for some Application is Disinvest. It would be valuable info to know if there is a successor for this Application.

Resourcing

We would like to add this request to the Waltz team's feature backlog

Hi @robinrosenstock. The provenance fields are mostly used to track where the data comes from. Our loaders will typically restrict themselves to only modifying data they have created.

With regards to successor apps, similar functionality already exists. Each taxonomy rating can have a specific decommission date and optionally define one or more replacement apps (and a timeframe).

However, I do see the value in having an overall replacement app which could be a bit more prominent at the top of the app page (rather than tucked away in the ratings section).

@davidwatkins73 thanks for answering and your explanation. ok, then this feature already exist. Feel free to close this if you want. Or change the title or reopen another issue that this should be a bit more visible, because even with your explanation I searched minutes to find it.
