Add To Workspace - No Config Spec

How do I add objects to a workspace without using a config spec filter?

 

Say I search for objects last modified in a very narrow date range and want to add those exact versions to a workspace.  They may be the latest or they may not be.  Choosing the "Latest" filter doesn't collect the correct versions and the "As Stored" filter isn't listed as a choice.  What is the right way to add the exact versions of the objects returned from a search to a workspace?  Thanks.

I think I found the solution.

 

What do you have this preference set to:

We have it set to "DEFAULT" (the OOTB value.)

 

I think temporarily changing this preference to "AS_STORED" is the trick. It preserves the "As Stored" config spec during collection, even when it isn't selectable in the filter.

When I did a search just now for files created between 2 dates, I then checked the ones I wanted and highlighted one with the RMB and selected Add to workspace. The files are collected with the Basic tab. Switch to the Advanced tab and it says they are collected with the As Stored spec.

This is in Windchill 11.0 m030.

    Don't select just one, select them all.

    Selected all, Add to Workspace, switch to Advanced tab. Still shows As Saved.
