Property Loader Database Plugin - Properties Versioning

[python007]

Hello to all TestStanders

For my Testsequence I want to load the e.g. the Limits for a test from a database with the "Property Loader Database Plugin".

I could export the properties successfully to the database an implement the property Loader in my Testsequence.

Now i have the requirement to generate a new version for my properties (e.g. Limit change).

It should be possible to jump back to the old properties if something went wrong. 

So what I need is a Versioning of my properties:

PartA_Lim_V1.0.0
PartA_Lim_V1.0.1

PartA_Lim_V1.0.2

To Versioning my Properties I used the "Property Loader Groups" and created for a new version a new Group and exported them to the database:

On the Property Loader I added Preconditions to determine which Group should be loaded (In the local "properties_version" is the Version to used stored eg. "1.0.0":

"$(GroupName)" == RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.PartNumber + "_V_"+ RunState.Sequence.Locals.properties_version

This solution seems to work but I'm not sure how maintainable it is.

I'm new to TestStand and not sure if I use the Property Loader like it should be used.

I'm Interested what you think about my solution and how you implement something similar?

Best regards
