Description
We can select "Archive X" or "Restore X" but we don't have any information about them.
You have to look at Git log, archives have a meaningful commit message.
The reason you don't have more information than what is said in each widget is that the system does not actually do an archive, it only export PT/PI/CR/Groups to XML files and save them in Git.
A natural evolution of the system would be to list all archive with a given commit message and let the user choose among them, but that's for a later time.
I agree that this is a bit confusing when you don't know. As a simple measure I suggest that we add a descriptive blurb to the administration page, explaining this. Also, wer could change the confirmation popup to say "saved in git with commit id ... And tag ..."
Does the modification brought with #2214 are ok regarding that issue ?
- Status changed from New to Discussion
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~alpha4 to 2.4.0~alpha5
- Assignee set to Nicolas PERRON
- Assignee changed from Nicolas PERRON to François ARMAND
- % Done changed from 0 to 80
It's seems OK but can't we add more information ? like a textarea which suggest to add a description before archiving ?
- Target version changed from 2.4.0~alpha5 to 2.4.0~alpha6
That sounds like a great idea! We could add the message into the git commit, too.
- Status changed from Discussion to Pending technical review
That's a completely different user story, tracked here: #2355, so I close that one.
- Status changed from Pending technical review to Released
