Add "From Version" into OED Spec

benhayes21 commented 2 months ago

Description

Suggestion to add "From Version" column into tabs in the OED spec.

Reasons for change

Intention here is to make it easy to see when new fields/values have been added to the spec and from what version they are valid

Scope of change

[ X] Specification
[ ] Location File
[ ] Accounts File
[ ] Reinsurance Scope
[ ] Reinsurance Info

Propose add column to tabs:

OED Input Fields
Peril Values
Financial Code Values
Occupancy Values
Construction Values
Currency Values
Country Values
Area Code Values
Other Values
OED CR Field Appendix

Impact of change

It shouldn't break anything, but will need to be tested with validation software that uses the specification directly.

This is a good idea and will be easier to track changes (at least new changes).

Some additional questions / considerations:

If the field is changed in any way, would "From version" change as well?
Or is this just about implementing the field of when this was first introduced?
Will the field be populated retrospectively on all that has been released thus far?
What version is being tracked here: OED version? when the field is recognised in the financial model (is this ktools?)

Suggest deferring this feature to a later release as it has unanswered questions and potentially very resource intensive.

This is needed to gain better clarity of when was released and when the support for it started. Currently. This was a step forward in the right direction. We would like to see this in OED v4.0.0.
