Generate a list of Geo-Object changes between list versions

User stories

As any user, I would like to be able to automatically generate a list of changes to Geo-Objects between list versions (either between published versions or between lists at given frequencies), so these can easily be communicated to end users.

Problems this relates to

Data management

Proposed solution

Develop functionality to compare two versions of lists for the same Geo-Object Type, and output a summary of changes (i.e., Geo-Objects Added: ..., list of Geo-Object IDs and a summary of the changes).

Considered alternatives

Manually noting down changes in a spreadsheet.

Additional context

None

During the first quarterly Digital Health Strategy TWG meeting for Laos, one point that was raised is that communication to relevant departments on the changes to the health facility master list is important. Having an easy way to check what changes have been made between versions will be of much benefit to the Laos MoH.

I assume this feature is expected to work outside of the Change Request mechanism, i.e. if an RA directly modifies a Geo-Object the change should still appear?

Hi @rrowlands, your assumption is correct. The challenge right now is that direct edits by RMs are hard to spot.

Looks like this is a duplicate of a very old ticket, #193
