Columns and fields responsible for the deletion and creation of a line in the comparison

When a difference is detected between the compared resource (instance or instance version) and the reference resource, it is highlighted in the compare editor. If the value of a field differs in the compared resource, the corresponding line is displayed as a change in the compare editor. However, if the value differs in some columns or fields, the line is displayed as deleted in the reference resource and added in the compared resource.

These columns or fields are contained in the tables of the composition tabs of entities.

This help page indicates these tabs for each entity. If the tab contains more than one table, the table name is specified.

The relevant columns are listed. If these columns correspond to fields that can be accessed from detail sections of the tab, these sections and fields are also indicated.
