Losing previous job versions in talend after IMPORT ITEMS

[SDHON]

Hello,

I created a new version of my existing job from 0.3 to 0.4 for example, incrementing 'm' in Talend like below:

When I check the versions I see both 0.3 and 0.4. However, I realised I am losing previous versions as soon as I import the job again in the project. When I IMPORT ITEMS of current job 0.4, I lose the previous versions 0.3. Like shown below 0.3 is gone:

I have checked in my workspace, the files linked to all previous versions for that particular job newly imported have disappeared.

Is there a way to keep the previous versions on a project while safely keeping a backup of only the job concerned instead of the whole project always? What is the best way to do this to not lose previous versions please? Do I have to import the entire project always to not lose versions 😕

Many thanks for helping.

S.D

Hello @S DHON​ 

Based on the screenshots you sent, it seems you're using Studio v7 or bellow and I guess this is an issue present in older versions of Studio.

I just have tested on v8 and it doesn't happened, all the previous versions were kept after importing the job.

Best regards,

Anselmo

Thank you @Anselmo Peixoto​ .. yes i am using TOS6.4.

I will try same with TOS7.3 to see if that works. TOS 8 I havent use yet. Hopefully on 7.3 it will work! 👍

Could you PLEASE check BEFORE posting if you have chosen the correct forum?

Your topic has NOTHING to do with component development!

I got my answer when I tried to Export Items instead of Build Job. It works on both TOS6 and TOS7.

Here is the link to that thread where I replied instead of here to keep it clean with the topic. Sorry for chosing the wrong forum 🙏 Thank you for your help @Anselmo Peixoto​
