    Upgrade Prompt

    2 variables are related to the upgrade of files of previous version to the current.

    It is important because when a file has been upgraded to a newer version it can not be modified anymore using the previous.

    For example, the objects schema has changed from 2019-R2 to 2020-R1 (no change from 2020-R1 to 2020-R2).

    If you open a 2019-R2 file in 2020-R1 (or R2) you want to control if it could be upgraded or not.

    Variables are:

    • CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF
    • CIVIL_OPEN_OLD_READONLY

    1. You want to give the choice to upgrade or not. 
      Don't set any variable (and check that none are set: they must not appear in variables list in File>Settings>Configuration>Variables).
      Note that when file is updated, a copy of the original is created (.BAK).

    2. You DON'T want to give the choice and DON'T want to upgrade files
      Set both CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF and CIVIL_OPEN_OLD_READONLY whatever the value.
      But to be consistent it should be: CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF=1 and CIVIL_OPEN_OLD_READONLY = 1
      Files will be opened as readonly with no warning or choice.

    3. You want to automatically update files with no prompt
      Set only CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF, whatever the value.
      But to be consistent it should be: CIVIL_UPGRADE_PROMPT_OFF=1 (and check that CIVIL_OPEN_OLD_READONLY is undefined)
