[EP-tech] search filter to show only the last version
Hi Yuri,
Unfortunately, I don't think this is programatically possible. The
problem is that the succeeds field is used for storing the ID of the
eprint the current eprint succeeds.? This means you cannot filter on
this as you would expect the latest version of an item to have a
succeeds value but you may also have intermediate versions that have
this set, so you would get all but the first version if you filtered on
succeeds being set.
I would probably advise adding something to eprints fields automatic
that checks the succeeds value and sets a succeeded flag (i.e. boolean)
for the item being succeeded and then recommit all your eprint records
or at least ones that have the succeeds field set.? However, you would
need to be careful doing this.? I would probably advise that the
succeeded flag only gets set when the succeeding item goes live and have
a check for if the item is retired, returned to review or deleted and
unset this flag in the succeeded item.? However, I can also see a
problem where you create a new version that never gets put live but has
another new version created from it.? This would break the link back to
the original and the succeeded flag would never get set on the original
version.? Similarly, if the intermediate version got retired this would
unset the succeeded flag on the original version even though it was
technically succeeded by a later version.? However, these edge cases
would include the record in your search when it was not appropriate,
which on the odd occasion is probably not as big a problem as failing to
include a record that is no longer succeeded.
Hope this helps
