I was wondering why everytime a xaml is opened (apart from Main), UiPath shows a star symbol beside the filename indicating there are changes to be saved eventhough no changes were made to a given xaml file. This is not a show stopper but makes a difference when working with vesion control systems.
Further more, its a bit annoying to have to see all the changes made by UiPath Studio itself (not just the code changes by the developer) when working with git such as working comparing git branches, conflicts etc) any thoughts ?
Ideally it will show star symbol only when there is a slight change with the workflow that could include changes with activity name, dragging and dropping activities, removal of variable or any value
It could be a very simple change…can be just removing a dot
It will then show the star
Otherwise it won’t
But still if it appears I’m not sure why UiPath does this, but I have a theory where one possibility is that it’s a way to remind users that they should save their work regularly.
Well that’s true but It becomes a part of it when using source control systems
I would recommend to have a comparison tool like workflow diff as below, as Workflow Diff shows added or removed activities, variables, arguments, or modified activity properties.
