Add change package entries?

Hi,

ist there a way to add change package entries to an existing change package?

Example:

A user missed associating a checkin or set member rev with a change package (we have no mandatory change packages in all projects).

Can he create a change package afterwards and somehow add the checkin and/or set member rev action?

I have seen that you can discard change package entries, but obviously not add them!?

    Hi Stephan,

    Can you clarify your scenario?  Did they already check-in and commit their change, without the change package?  If so, then you can't add that action to the change package after the fact.

    He'd have to do a new check-out/check-in and associate with a change package.

    If they yet have to check-in, he should be able to pick a change package at check-in time, depending on your change package settings, if he didn't pick one at check-out.

    Some clarification/screenshots may help.  But if you've already committed a change to your repository, without a change package, you can't after-the-fact, say it was part of a change package.

    Hi Michael,

    unfortunately, the changes are already done/committed without a change package.

    The user wants to correct this afterwards.

    I thought there might be the opposite action to discard change package entries, but obviously it isn't.

    Thanks for clarification anyway!

    Maybe a stupid Idea (never tested this):

    If its just to leave some traces in a apropriate change package he could try to apply Update Member Revision to

    the revisions he checked in (in the order they were created) using a newly created change package (the best case would be I he would land

    on the current revisions after this).

    This might be problematic if other users have already checked in new revisions (with Update Member Revison option).

    BTW:

    If the use case was that checkins used the wrong change package the I guess Move Change Package Entry

    might be the way to go.
