Allow Building Block upgrades into Drafts
T
Thomas Felix
As a developer adding and testing a new building block version is cumbersome as an existing building block can not be "upgraded" into the draft version. Currently, especially if its a "apply once" building block you need to create a new tenant/project to apply it or remove the old one and re-apply the new building block as draft. This might not always be easily possible.
It also only allows testing the "upgrade" procedure once the building block is released and an admin actually performs the upgrade into the new version. If you could already "upgrade" into a draft version this transition could be tested beforehand.

Thanks for your feature request Thomas! This makes sense.
In the Service Management Area you can at least create new building blocks with the draft version but I understand you cannot test this for existing ones. So it definitely makes sense to support this at some point.
(This is especially problematic for multiplicity "Once" building blocks which cannot be created again)

Jelle den Burger I've also hit a similar issue today where I was trying to fix a failed BB at v3, but i need to make sure that the v4 that I am preparing is actually fixing the problem for the building block in that particular instance.
I would greatly appreciate if I could upgrade even an application team's building block to a draft version as this is much better than creating a bunch of follow up versions (that get published to the marketplace everytime) while I'm in anger trying to fix a problem for that one building block...
