Loosing upgrade after version scripts.

Related products: Software Factory

Imagine the following situation:

  • Version 1.27 is on the test database
  • Version 1.28 got an upgrade script functionality, assigned to ug_after_1_27_to_1_28
  • This works perfect and I will create version 1.29 after upgrade.
  • After developing and testing version 1.29 I want to deploy 1.29 to the production
  • Production is version 1.27, so in the SF I will put 1.27 as previous project version.
  • When upgrading from 1.27 → 1.29 I will loose the upgrade script ug_after_1_27_to_1_28

I can imagine that this works the same with branching and merging.

Ususally I will attach these upgrade functionality to ug_after_always to prevent this situation, but then I have to cleanup upgrade scripts after a while. 

It would be nice if we can prevent this and the SF would recognise that between 127 and 1.29 there is an upgrade script that needs execution.
