I came across this when I was trying to check entity sources created via bulk import.
In the
/versions
endpoint, the source of each def was getting populated from the audits table, which in general is a good idea.But, we're about to have entity defs that don't have a single audit event (unless they do/will?) associated with their creation, because one event will likely be shared across multiple new entities.
We have a way to directly look up an entity def's source, so I added that to the main entity def query. If there are no other source/event details to provide, it will fall back to the details directly in the source table.
What has been done to verify that this works as intended?
Tests
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
I thought getting an entity def source via audits was odd when we had it directly, but then i realized how much more detailed that way of doing things is so i left it in place and added this fallback to the more basic source details. I don't think it harms anything and we can come back to "what kind of events should exist for bulk actions".
