Outdated Work Items - Saving not possible

Hello,

We have found a little annoying problem with Work Items, especially when working with Scenarios and/or links.

1. Create a Scenario, save it, keep it open
2. Create a Task and link it to the scenario, save it, close it
3. Edit the Scenario and try to save

Result: You're not allowed to save the scenario; you first have to refresh it (and lose your changes).

Workaround 1) Always Refresh work items before editing them
Workaround 2) Don't "Save" Work Items, close them and say "Yes" when asked to save

Best regards,
Martin

If someone changes the work item and saves it while you are editing the work item and then you try to save it then you get the error message to first refresh the work item and then make the edit.

I am sorry for your inconvenience. We understand that this is annoying behaviour but it is currently by design. I have logged a product idea in our database to consider fixing this issue in our next release.

Hello Martin,

Sorry for having to face this problem. This is a know issue in v1 that we cannot save a outdated(Older revision) work item.

We may provide a Compare merge kind a functionality for these scenarios in V2.

Thanks for reporting
