Would it be possible to perform the merge directly from the screen or the action? Currently, the process is quite complicated, especially when trying to locate a version by date and identify on which day the screen or action was changed.
@Bruno Santos : I would love to have that feature - being able to select a Screen or an Action, view only its changes, and selectively merge those changes. That would make the process much easier.
Unfortunately, that is not possible today. The merge process works at the version level, so you have to pick an entire version. With large OMLs, that can be quite painful, especially when you're trying to figure out which version contains the specific Screen or Action you need.
I would suggest raising it as an idea. I can definitely see the value in it, and hopefully it is something the OutSystems team will consider for a future release.
Hallo @Bruno Santos ,
I think every OutSystems developer has spent a few minutes (or more š ) trying to find the right version before starting a merge.
If you're working on a large module, one thing that can really help is adopting smaller, feature-focused publishes and writing meaningful publish descriptions. That makes it much easier to identify the version that introduced a specific change and reduces the time spent searching through the version history.
Another good practice is to keep related changes together in the same publish whenever possible. It makes Compare & Merge more predictable and minimizes the risk of bringing in unrelated changes.
