Replace Workflow - Version Comments

[jgomel]

In the gallery you have the ability to replace a workflow with another, however when doing so the version history only indicates "Package Replaced" (see image below)

Would it be possible to change the default text and input something more meaningful, since in my case I use this field for version control/auditing so it would be good to know what changes came with the replaced version.

Second ask, but maybe not as important as the first.

Sometimes the package we are replacing with itself might have several versions, but these are completely lost when the files are combined.

Would it be possible to keep that version history when the package is replaced.

Eg. Original File is at Version 10. This will be replaced by a package that is at Version 3.

Possible solution would be to have the new version be Version 13 which includes the 10 versions from the original file and the 3 from the new. 

Thanks!

I definitely want the same functionality.  I would like version control and the ability to either a) download a previous version of a file, or b) re-institute a previous version of a file to make it the prevailing copy.  Tableau Server has this (see below).  Allowing one version of the file to be the saved version while still being able to revert to previous versions would be ideal.

I did my own quick test to confirm. When publishing to a server, you can add version comments, but these comments are overwritten with the unuseful message "Package Replaced"  when a workflow is replaced by another. Is there no way to overwrite a workflow and retain the audit log comments?

Bumping this.
