Save description of what was applied through the migration script

[pmbanugo]

Currently, we store only the migration script file name as an entry after the migration is run. I think it will be a good idea to store the description of what changed with the script so that when one reads the entry, they can see what applied without going to the code.

This can be the same description of what was applied when the migration is deployed.

Which "description of what changed" are you referring to?

[pmbanugo]

When the migration is run on the CLI, it shows what types and fields will be applied. That's what I mean by description. E.g

Environment: dev

Create Content Type Copy
  - name: "_Modul Copy"
  - description: "Modul zum Darstellen eines Countdowns"
  - displayField: "title"

  Create field title
    - name: "Titel"
    - type: "Symbol"
    - required: true

  Create field text
    - name: "Präfix"
    - type: "Symbol"
    - required: false

Ah, I didn't think of that.

I think it would be a great idea. However, not all migrations create one new content type. They could be

• creating multiple new content types
• deleting content types
• changing fields on an existing content type
• migrating content entries

What would be the appropriate description in those cases?

I will come back to you later with an answer so that it will be clear on what the descriptions for each possible actions will be, and how we can likely get those descriptions.
