Is it possible to modify the request data without modifying the actual file?

[nathanpovo]

Given the git-friendly nature of the project, I am not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I wish to use Voiden in a team environment and commit the void files into our mono repo. Whenever I change a value in any of the data blocks (JSON, XML, Query params, etc), the void file is updated and it shows up in the git changes.

Is there any way around this?

Changing the data to send out a new request is normal and it means that we might accidentally commit the changes to the git repo.

Below you can see the changes to the void file after I created the sample Voiden project, committed all the original files to a git repository, then modified one of the query params in a "Query Table" block:

Hi @nathanpovo you are not doing anything wrong here - its just the way Voiden has been designed so far.

We wanted .void files to be the single source of truth and hence if you make changes it will be reflected in the git status and you have to take an explicit action to discard changes.

But I think a locking feature at the project level (by default) its off , and can be locked at the user level. Can be quite beneficial to avoid accidental commits for changes that occur during testing.

Check out this video to see how that would work. Let me know if you have any other ideas or thoughts.
