ESI - How to prevent user from sending "non-latest" iterations to a distribution target?

Hi,

is there a preference or setting which prevents the user from sending a "non-latest" iteration to the distribution target?

Background:

With the "Send to distribution target" action we're pulling a number from SAP. If the user perfoms this task on a version which is not latest, the newer iterations won't get the number assigned.

One way you can achieve this is with a action validator where you can validate the object and either display or hide the action. If you need any further assistance please mail me.

Thanks, this is a good point.

I'll check this with our programmer, but it might be easier to throw an ESI exception during the number assignment logic than creating an action validator. This would also be sufficient.

Not sure if this would help.

remove Read access to ESIRelease for ESI Authors group (but not ESI Admin). Then add

for ESI Authors.

The ESI Closeloop witll hang at "Post Release" and then complete.

ESI does complete.
