I would like the ability to export previous iterations of lifecycles. Currently it is only possible to export the latest iteration. In the iteration history dialog box, should be able to select any iteration and export it.

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders. I am a consultant supporting multiple industries. My stakeholders are users of Windchill across the spectrum. This functionality would be useful for the business administrators. 2. What product & version are you currently running? This functionality would be for PDMLink. I support multiple releases but the primary ones are 11.1 M020 and 12.0.2. 3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.The problem is that only the latest iteration of a lifecycle or workflow can be exported. If you want to export an older iteration you would need to delete the latest one(s) and that may not be possible if the latest iteration is in use. 4. What is the use case for your organization? One example is that after an upgrade a lifecycle or workflow may be iterated by the upgrade manager. Now you are not able to export an older iteration, only the latest one. 5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization? This suggestion would make management of lifecycle and workflow much easier. It would give ability to export an older iteration from a test system for example and import as latest.
