[sw360-dev] tracing editing steps in couchdb documents

["Jaeger, Michael C." <michael.c.jaeger@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

in couchdb, I am trying to follow a question on some document „who edited what when“ and the couchdb feature to fish out older versions of a document is extremely useful.

 

I was wondering how about adding the user and the date to every document (and not a list), because any change would write a new version of the document with according user and date. A subsequent version would have updated fields accordingly. Then by stepping back in couchdb there would be a version log already.

 

just adding to “createdBy, createdOn” also

 

  modfiedBy

  modifedOn

 

to every of the relevant documents?

 

What do you think?

 

Kind regards, Michael
