Ready API 3.42.0 automatically updates projectVersion every time when loading the project

[MerijnT_NS]

Anytime I open, reload or commit my Ready API project, the projectVersion is updated. This is annoying, cause when my branch is behind, this puts me in an impossible situation: I can not pull any changes because I have uncommitted changes. And I can not push my changes either, because my local branch is behind. Discarding my changes also doesn't work.

See a snapshot of an example of the change in projectVersion below:

-<con:soapui-project id="XXX" created="3.41.1" activeEnvironment="Local" name="XXX" resourceRoot="" compositeProjectFormat="1.3" updated="3.42.0" encryptionMode="Not encrypted" projectVersion="5d348dad-0f30-44b2-9b20-59dc9324e622" xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config">
+<con:soapui-project id="XXX" created="3.41.1" activeEnvironment="Local" name="XXX" resourceRoot="" compositeProjectFormat="1.3" updated="3.42.0" encryptionMode="Not encrypted" projectVersion="db66506a-8e46-4d31-a5f7-e280420abfb9" xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config">

Does anyone have a clue on how to deal with this?

I'm facing the same issue. It blocks pulling changes from git, because the "setting.xml" needs to be committed everytime. once the changes are pushed, it re-appears again as a new change

@MerijnT_NS,

The best would be to raise a support issue or feature request to change this ReadyAPI behavior.

It makes sense to update the version if you make a change but not if you only open or reload the project.
