Hi

In new CA 11.1.6 release, Is there any update for version control feature (example ability to to save spec offline) for Data Module? 

I tried using ctrl / q but specs doesn't load for large Data Modules.

This is major roadblock in creating single source Data Module and at the same time collaborating for changes to Module.

Thanks for any inputs!

Hi @Buddhi Gupta,

The Ctrl + q + / is an unofficial feature which is good to have in your back pocket when it comes to debugging. Hence why you won't find it documented anywhere in our documentation. 

That being said, we definitely recognize the need for it and have a work item already to make it an official feature. At that point, we would ensure it works for both small and large models for sure. 

As for version control, having it in the box would be an enhancement request I would recommend logging on Aha! if it doesn't exist already. In the meantime, out lab services team worked on an integration that can be used for it. Here is a demo -https://ibm-data-and-ai.ideas.aha.io/

hi,
I created request on Aha for Data module editing. This would highly improve professional work with Data modules.

Similar one has been raised also for Dashboards some time ago.

Hope it will be implemented soon.
