This feature builds upon the Copy Link context menu option, which allows users to create links to various objects, such as pool versions, components and component groups.

Example: “User A” creates a link to the biw component and shares the link with “User B”. In the past, “User B” would only have been able to open the link in the client if the referenced objects were available locally. This has been improved. Now, if the referenced objects are not yet available locally, then:

• the sync/download for the referenced pool and/or pool version is triggered.
• after the sync/download is ready, the referenced object is automatically selected.
• the user is shown a dialog with corresponding information (that the pool version with the object in the link is being downloaded).

This fix relates to the Paste into tab. When pasting a component into a pool version where the same component version already exists, the tab now correctly detects that the component remains unchanged and it does not ask the user to enter a history comment. Instead, an info box is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the Apply button is disabled.

This fix relates to the Paste into tab. Specifically, it relates to situations when the component type is changed. In such situations, the component may also be switched to a different component group. In the past, the path was not updated accordingly and an error occurred when applying the changes. This behavior has been fixed.
