How to change versioning algorithmn?

[th0masj0]

Hey,

disabling the file versioning is nice. Do you know how to change versioning algorithmn too?

Background:
We are running on same MicroStrategy version for long time (mostly for appr. 3 years). In this time we often enhance the Web UI with custom plugins and CSS. Everytime we release an update we are struggling with browser caching issues because the browsers of users don't reload CSS files immediately. MicroStrategy does not use E-Tag or something. Cache-control header does also not work in all circumstances.

Thx for your help.

Regards
Thomas

If you or anybody else in the future is curious, MSTR fixed this in their 2020 release. I wrote about this here: http://microstrategywebsdkhelp.com/versioning-micostrategy-web-js-css/

Hey @floverfelt, that's cool. Thank you for this hint. MicroStrategy has not yet point that this was implemented in MicroStrategy 2020. I'll give it a try.
