We’re running a lot of configurations in Continua that make no sense at all to have a version counter or build number, as they are data workflows as opposed to application builds. Is it possible to add a feature to disable this on a configuration-to-configuration basis? We’re just ending up with a page full of configurations with meaningless build numbers that we simply want to hide or remove.
Thanks
Hi Luke, thank you for posting, this is possible currently.
Within a configuration create a variable (http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Variables) named “blank” which is a text field that contains no value. Enter this variable into the version format string textbox “%blank%” or alternatively you could enter some static text eg “None” or “N/A”. If you need the number back at a later time you can always just re-enter ‘1.0.0.$Build.BuildNumber$’ and the build versions will start displaying again.
Peter,
Thanks for the reply, this is good to know. Does the version format string textbox accept environment variables?
Regards,
Hi Luke, yes environment variables can be used in this field with the %% style autocomplete (please see the wiki for further details: http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=655772#Variables,Objects&Expressions-EnvironmentVariables)
