Improve Identification of Duplicate Draft Measure Packages

We have learned that sometimes measure developers create multiple measure package drafts for one measure and those multiple drafts can have identical permutation data, which makes it impossible for cedars users to know which measure they should select in the interface.

The measure developers would like us to include the eTRM version ID with the measure name in the drop down list for adding load shapes so they can distinguish the draft they want to upload load shapes.

“The best date to use would be the "LastUpdatedDate" = Date when MP data, properties, or workflow status is updated. Not 100% ideal since the timestamp may also be updated by changes unrelated to the permutation data, but it is the best available option.

If your system records the "LastUpdatedDate" timestamp when it detects changes to a measure's permutation data, that should be close to the timestamp when the permutation was rebuilt. PA and measure developer should then use the measure draft with the most recent timestamp.”

    We have been getting around this by looking at the preview of validation labels after selecting one option from the dropdown. So it is not impossible to proceed without this enhancement, but it could save a few minutes for each new set of uploads.
