#533 Reserve document number - Workflow issue

[StefanG]

Hello,

I have a workflow issue that is har to explain to the users.

When they create a file, we want each to have the OWL-assigned doc-number in the header, along with the revision numbers.

Today, you have to upload a new file to be able to get the doc-number that is supposed to go in the document.
Since we cannot travel in time, this is an issue and the user must now upload a blank document initially to get the doc-number, update the file and upload it again. This adds to the workflow time and disk space.

What I would like to see is:
Add a page or a checkbox on the regular upload new page that gives you the possibility to only enter the file details and not yet upload the file.
The result would be the OWL-assigned doc-number and NULL filename.

The next time you update the file, you will then keep the version at the same revision and only upload and add the file to the database.

I could probably do this myself, but at a minimum, I need to know how the system will react to a filename being NULL in the database. If it breaks the code, then this is a bigger task...
If ok, then this may be confined to dbmodify?
