New feature 'Add patch to Application' allows no more than one patch to be created. Also, patch is lost, once its deployed in target environment. Is there a way to ensure version control for applications with this. For now we create new patch each release.
Thanks!

I've been thinking about the same thing. I don't think that there's anything native in 7.X that would support patch versioning on the servers. However there's nothing to stop you loading the patches into a management scheme on a third system between source and destination.
* I too, was surprised to find the patch application disappear on the destination system.

I believe the official line is to use external version control to hold the patches - but that doesn't help with the issue of the patch contents not being listed anywhere. At the moment we're retaining the old way of doing this - creating an application per release version containing only the changes required for that release.

I'm still forced to use the old method as well - creating a new application for each patch. As patch contents are not stored across sessions, if the patch takes more than 1 day/session to build, you are either forced to record each item modified or create a new application for each patch. When patches can easily require 15-20+ items, creating a new application is the easiest way to go. I will be looking forward to some enhancements in this area as well.

Could you use the "Date Last Modified" filter to quickly find the objects that you've changed over several days, and add them to the patch at that point?

We're also finding that we need to stick with creating a new application for each release/patch instead. We don't always send every object recently modified to production, so date last modified wouldn't provide an accurate list of all that needs to be included.
