I am currently changing object attribute names to get some consitency across all modules within a project and have been re-saving any views affected by the renaming exercise.
I have subsequently noticed that when I view a baseline within a revised module that the view now takes on the new settings and the renamed attribute does not appear since in the baseline it still retains its original name.
Has anyone else come across this and found a simple workaround without creating more views. I guess I could create the column as layout DXL but this seems a bit OTT.

This very interesting.

If you change a view, then changes to the view are also apparent when you open a baseline.
However, it is more clever than that because if a column is displaying an attribute that did not exist in the baseline, then the coolumn is omitted from the view. This is good because it prevents DXL errors.

Also, you can create or changes views in a baseline and these changes appear in the current version of the module.

No guarantees here:

Try this. Recreate the old attributes in the current module. Build a view that shows the old and the new attributes in side-by-side columns. Save the view. Delete the old attributes. Its possible the view definition will retain the old columns, but won't show them in the current module, and will not show the new attributes in the baseline module.

The trick is ..err.. would be to save the view before deleting the attributes.

Louie, thanks for your suggestion, but after a few tests it appears that Views are associated with the module and not a particular baseline.
If I change a current version view name then open a baseline, the new view name appears in the baseline.
The fact that views can be created and deleted independently of module access rights suggests they are stored separately rather than embedded within the module.
Thanks for your comments. It just highlights the importance of getting a consistent naming convention from the start.
