Feature-Request: Dump-All-Versions data on every formtab

Open sebastian-marinescu opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

It would be nice to be able to dump all versions of a specific type in the VersionX Action-View.

Use-Cases:

  • Database getting to big
  • Changed a lot and want to start versioning from scratch

What do you think?

If I were a malicious editor set out to ruin my former employer who just sacked me because I ate all the M&Ms in the break out room, that sounds like a lovely button.

Good point and nice use-case for M&Ms :wink:

So then the button should only be visible to the admins or to people with a permission to it. But then again, what if an permitted user ate all the M&Ms...

So probably only the admins should see it, because they also most likely have access to the database. What do you think now? :)

I think the cleanup solution in v3 handles the db getting too big scenario. As for starting fresh, I don't think that should be a control in the UI, it'd be better to directly truncate the tables. Closing! 🙏🏻
