I recently added a new field to a document template.  I set the default for all new documents to show 12 months, but I had existing documents whose field value needed to be set to 12 months too.  Since there were under 50 documents affected, I selected all in web access, chose metadata (not update metadata) and made the change to 12 months in the template field and saved it successfully for all the documents.

My question is why would Laserfiche only increased the version for the FIRST document in the selected group?  These are all versioned documents and I would have expected that the version would have increased for all of them.

What should be the expected behavior when metadata is changed in multiple versioned documents?

Does this change if I were to have used a Workflow to make the metadata change?

Please advise, thanks.
