getting source based on a date?

I was looking into what options I have for looking back and testing older code.
- I can use a baseline... assuming one was made
- I can create patches that will remove specific work items. But you gotta know which work items to remove

I was thinking that it would be nice to create a new workspace and then say something like "Give me the source from <some>".

But I saw no such functionality... but maybe I missed it? I did search here and in the jazz help but didn't find anything. Maybe I used the wrong search terms?

Is there a way to populate a workspace with source from a specific time (or some arbitrary point in the source?)

Thanks,

Eric

There are three ways currently:

- Create a workspace and discard change sets up to the date/time you want to rollback to. This is good for small rollbacks, think just get rid of what I did today and start fresh with my code from yesterday.
- Create a workspace and replace with a baseline that fits the data/time range.
- Create a workspace from a build which was green and was a good starting point.

Your suggestion is still interesting, could you log an enhancement request against Source Control for that?
