Transaction and version management in a webscript

Ti suggerisco di lasciare transaction a required e probabilmente la versione viene sovrascritta perché le versionproperties sono le stesse.

Oh, I was convinced I was posting in the English forum… I am afraid I selected an Italian subforum and then switched to English, while I should have done the opposite! Ok, I will reply in English anyway, for the sake of those searching answers via google in the future 😉

Piergiorgio, above, suggests to leave transaction required, and explains that probably the version is overwritten because there is no change in properties. Thank you, Piergiorgio, this sounds very reasonable; and if this is the case, the problem should probably solve by itself, since one of my next steps will be to add a "Signed" aspect, which should be enough to change properties. I will check soon, and then post my findings here!

Coming back to the forums after a while, I can confirm that adding the "signed" aspect and setting a property creates a new version even with transaction=required. Many thanks to Giorgio for his answer!
