How trustworthy is the difference markup in Project History ?
![]()
This question deals with Web UI / Project Configuration / History and any "Show Details" section. I have use the compare history function in the Eclipse client, but the changes to project source seem to be written back in such a fashion that accurately determining changes is difficult. The markup in the Web UI seems to be more readable, but how does its accuracy compare ? I ask because one project area we have certain work items cannot be viewed in Web UI ( ok in Eclipse ) (**) I've been trying to "blame" the presentation. I have seen indications of errors in the editor presentation ( e.g. trying to display an attribute with an incompatable presentation ). The "Show Details" shows changes to tab ID that appear to now belong to the presentation in question.
cf: https://jazz.net/library/article/1002#editorpres (**) No errors are displayed when trying to load a work item, just the "Loading work item NNNNN". I tried with ?debug=true while capturing web console; all return codes were 200. No obvious problems in jazz logs. |

The project configuration history in the WebUI is the recommended mechanism for looking at differences between different versions of the process configuration. If you are seeing a bug in the work item display in the Web UI, that is almost certainly unrelated to anything about the process configuration history display.
Comments I am trying to ascertain what about the presentation is different from recent changes. E.g. this looks like id of a tab section was changed

It appears to me that the CustomerEditor.internalHeader tab was moved from after the com.ibm.sport.... tab to before it.
Sort of... I finally noticed that in the Overview tab there was an empty section labeled Operation. I removed that and work items of that type began to display. I had to touch up the new tab to make its layout work, so now all is well.
