Get All Versions improvements #83
Conversation
Get All Versions task needs two extra features: - Add recursion (allows it to recurse through child directories, defaults to False, which is standard behaviour - Populate a list box. Allows users to get all versions and add to a list box
Allows Get All Versions to complete a list box rather than a list
get_all_package_version has the recurse option, allowing it to search through child directories

I'm not following on the recursion feature. If the input is an application id, how can there be a |

If the input is udm.Application, then you are correct. However, Get All Versions is powerful because it returns all children of anything - not just applications. So you can give it an environment and it’ll return the deployeds. The recursion feature allows you to give it a core.Directory and it’ll return all top level CIs. For example, a structure set up thus: Team Targeting team with get all Versions recursive will return 4 Apps. I then populate a list box, the user selects an app they want. Now the user has selected an app, we run Get All versions again to get the version of what they want to Deploy. Arguably I’m not using “Get all Versions” for its original purpose - but adding recursion and leaving it defaulting to false means it simply extends the capability to make it more functional whilst leaving default behaviour untouched. |

Should this not be an output property?
2 changes to Get All Versions
Recursion. Change to the root Client. Defaults to off (mimics current behaviour) but if active then it will recurse through directories. This covers situations where some foldershave a mixture of CIs and core.Directory objects.
ListBox population. Currently the app can populate a List... but not a ListBox. This is a simple addition that prevents having a second script to simply populate a user input List box.
