Improve error messaging around the failure of demoting items

I've added a comment to the Restrictions on promotion and demotion page of the online docs to clarify that a keyword (I have not tried it with other content types) cannot be demoted in the BluePrint if there are current or old versions of a component that reference it (in the part of the BluePrint where it will no longer be available).

The error message in the CME just gives the title and TcmId of the component that references the keyword. It would be useful if this error message was improved to indicate which versions of the component(s) were referencing the item (or at least that it was an old version).

  • Yes, I agree that seeing the items that succeeded to promote/demote would be useful.

    I think that a link to the item with a clear list of the offending version numbers would be most helpful (rather than a link to the location). We probably also need to be very clear if one of them is the *current version* of the component/item.

    With regards to the workflow around this, I'd probably need to fix the issues one by one, so being able to retry individual items would be useful.
