RM 1.0 Can Version String in Resources be removed?

[Divinum Fiat]

We don't have "versions" for our resources, just books, workshops, etc. and for some reason when I create a "paid" resource it won't allow me to create it without a "version string." It does allow me to create an unpaid resource without a version string.

Can the version string be completely removed?

Versioning is relatively fundamental. It's not necessarily trivial to remove -- it's how all file updates are done for example.


Generally yes, it's intentional. A version number is required for any resource with a file.

What if its just a link to an external site (which all mine are) Can this not be done either ?

In terms of the structure, external files are files nonetheless so versioning is still used.

I just want my users to upload a "Product Catalogue" (e.g. a .pdf-file).
There are no "versions" of these files.

Is there a way to remove the "version string" ?

If the "version string" can only be removed for "file-less" resources, then there is not much of a point in using the RM.

Agreed.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? Would like to remove version string too.

Only way it can be done is modifying the templates. Never addressed it.

Thanks. Will probably just label them 1.1 or something

Is there a way to do this automatically? It would be better if users didn't have to hard code the version string.
