Option to save a workflow in a prior version

[seven]

Can we have an option to save a workflow in a prior version for backward compatibility? I think Tableau offers this functionality.

Example:

If I have 2019.4.8 and a colleague has 2019.1.x, I cannot share my workflows because my colleague will receive a notice that the workflow was built in a newer version. I want to be able to save my workflow in 2019.1.x and send to my colleague.

This is predicated on the workflow not containing any tools/features not present in the older version. In that case, give me a warning about the specific tools/features that are not backward compatible. Thank you.

Hey @seven - this has been requested a few different times in this idea forum - and I agree that it makes sense.

I know it's not optimal but the way to do this at the moment is to change the version by going into the alteryx file using Notepad and changing the version number manually at the top of the file.
