Description
Bernd Kolb
A while ago there was a bug compare view for this purpose but we've since removed it in favor of making differences between the local and remote copy more apparent within the task editor itself. Currently new incoming changes show with a different (blue by default) background. If you have made changes and then reopened the editor the label for changed fields will have a * appended. Perhaps attributes that have changed due to local edits should immediately have * appended or immediately get a different background colour applied. +1 for different background color There is also an outstanding issue to include outgoing changes into the task tool tip in task list view. Especially since we already show details on incoming changes out there. +1 Could we overlay the outgoing arrow on those attributes? Perhaps the attribute/value composite could take this optional 9px image and draw it between the attribute and value if an incoming/outgoing change was present. Highlighting sounds good too, but for now would probably have to be gray for consistency's sake. Since adding an arrow would disrupt the layout I think the first pass should change the background. Marking P2 since I think this will be relatively straightforward and helpful. *** Bug 170705 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Bug 198501 has some relevant discussion.
