Changes missing for sets

Can not see changes of a set card.

I have a card that bases on set cardtype. When I create cards basing on that cardtype I see just the set definition of the basing cardtype and not the changes of the current card. 

Is that a general issue of sets? 

 

This is a general issue of the *content setting, in that the content of the card itself is overridden by the *content setting. In most cases, what is wanted is a view of the changes of subcards included by the card itself.

 

It is possible to see those changes one at a time by looking at included cards (which you can access through the related tab).  So, for example, you can see changes to +content, +tags, etc.

 

When we refactor our revisions handling, we hope to build a much more sophisticated approach to this issue.

I hope that also. A card and its pluscards have to be handled as a union. I think a user must not know the internal structure. I have understand a pluscard as a part of embedding card. That means a search should result the embedding card and changes should be accessible thru the embedding card.

 

Does there exist a way to offer the user a link to the embedding card when he looks on a pluscard? There is only one embedding card for each pluscard?

Well, a given card can be included by any number of cards. For example, the card screenshot is included above by and can also be included here:

 

Changes missing for sets+screenshot
.

 

You can see a list of all the cards that include a given card by going to +*includers (eg screenshot+*includers), which itself is included under the card's Related tab.

 

But even though a card may have many includers, it will only have one left and one right (with the divider being the rightmost "+"). So from any given plus card you can refer to either as _left or _right. For example, this card is named Changes missing for sets+discussion, and I can show its left and write with (yielding ) or (yielding ). The same goes for inclusions.

 

And in fact, there are several variations and shortcuts -- see contextual names.
