Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Install fresh j3.2.0 on localhost with php5.4.3 and MySQL 5.5.20. I used the new multilingual install feature and the following languages: English (GB), FR, HU and Afrikaans.
  2. Open an article, add a tag and a version note.
  3. SAVE.
  4. Click the version button and restore the original (1st) version.
  5. SAVE.
  6. Click the version button and restore the newest (2nd) version.

Expected result

Upon restore of 2nd version, the Tag and Version Notes would be populated with the data entered in the tag and version notes fields as described above in Step 2.

Actual result

Upon restore of 2nd version, the tag and version nots fields are blank.

I actually found that regardless of the version restored, the tag field appears in blank after restoring.

I notice the bug exactly as @jaimejjt mentions it.

However I can also see that @vdrover mentioned the version notes to be empty after restoring. I think this is the idea since (for them to be always empty) there is no current way to modify them - so if you load them, you would be creating a totally new version (i.e. version 3) with its own notes.

@jatitoam: except for the fact that if you restore a version, modify the version note, and save it, it overwrites the previous note (it doesn't create a totally new version leaving the old note intact), so it's not an entirely new version you get after saving.

Version history acts on the 'base content' fields. As tags are an extension to the UCM base content fields they aren't tracked by user history. Whilst this is inconvenient given the current code structure this won't be changed in the foreseeable future.

The version note field is only used for showing the reason for changes in the comparison view and shouldn't be 'displayed' in the version note field (as you're now in edit mode and will want to write a new version note rather than seeing the existing one).
