Two properties are available that allow you to control if and when the Controller automatically creates a new version of a record (and all its associated records):
- The Automatically Create Versions Universal Controller system property (true or false) determines whether modifications to the record itself will cause the Controller to create a new version of the record. The default value is true. If this property is set to false, the Controller does not create versions.
- The Create Version On Related List Change Universal Controller system property (true or false) determines whether changes, deletions, or additions to a related list will cause the Controller to create a new version of the record. For example, if this property is enabled, the Controller will create a new version of the task and all its associated records when the user adds a variable to the task, deletes a Note, or changes an Email Notification. The default value is true. If this property is set to false, and the Automatically Create Versions property is set to true, the Controller creates a new version only if the base record is updated.
