Hello !
I'm looking to bulk ingest documents into Alfresco, including versions. However, I want to preserve the original version labels.
Is there a way to achieve this using:
1. Alfresco REST API?
2. Alfresco Bulk Import Tool (As per documentation : bulk import doesn’t provide any way to specify whether a given version should have a major or minor increment)?
Specific requirements:
- Preserve original version labels (e.g., 1.0, 2.1, 2.2.3.0 etc.).
- Ingest documents with metadata of Versions (alternative to custom services).
Any guidance, documentation would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,

Hi, just a couple notes from my experience.
I had a task to import the files with popper order of versions. I used REST API http://alfresco:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/
You can't fully manage versioning. It is always on Alfresco side. May be you can, but for some reasons I do not go to edit version storage. You can choose major or minor version. On the system level of whole server you can set the first (start) version 0.1 or 1.0.
The properties of the document stored with file version too. So, you can prepare the versions with metadata.
