The Changes subtab of an issue record's edit form shows the change package of the issue record. You can invoke commands to see the details of the change package's changes, maintain its entries, and view the transaction and version history of its elements.The Changes subtab contains a table, each row displaying one "change package entry". A given element can have at most one entry in a change package -- but this entry can "grow" over time, as development work continues on the element. The table includes these columns:The head version of the change package entry.The basis version of the change package entry.The head version and basis version are the "endpoints" of the change package entry. That is, the entry consists of all the versions between these two versions. (The head version is included; the basis version isn't.)
· TheRemove command deletes one or more selected entries from the change package.
· TheSend to Issue command copies one or more selected entries to another issue record's change package.
But the change package facility is designed so that most modifications to change packages occur as "side effects" to the Promote command, by the change-package-level integration between AccuRev and AccuWork. (Change-Package-Level Integration between AccuRev and AccuWork on page 328.)This change takes effect immediately -- you cannot discard the change by closing the edit form without invoking the Save command. (Removing change package entries does not enable theSave button in the edit-form toolbar.)
(text-file elements only) Compares the entry's head version with the basis version. This shows exactly what changes to this element are included in the change package.Open a Version Browser tab, showing all the versions of the selected element, and their interrelationships (ancestry).Copies the selected entry(s) to another issue record's change package. If there's an existing entry for an element in a destination change package, an attempt is made to combine the existing entry with the entry you specified. The change(s) take place immediately in the destination issue record(s). There is no way to cancel the change(s) -- but you can open the issue record(s) and Remove the entry(s).The default query is executed, and the results are displayed in a dialog (see The Send to Issue Command on page 129). You are prompted to choose one or more of the issue records selected by the query. You can also create a new issue record, whose number will be entered in the dialog.
