Description Michael Halstead 2025-02-06 23:38:34 UTC 
Currently changing Yocto Project Compatible version for a layer requires editing the layer in the admin scaffolding. This is inconvenient UI and requires giving admin permissions to users who only need to access to edit layers.

We should add a selector for this on the main layer editing pages like https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/edit/{layer}/.

The compatible version dropdown should only display to users with staff access.

Likely not for Tim to do. Richard has some candidates in mind.
Comment 2 Mathieu Dubois-Briand 2025-02-24 12:47:40 UTC 
I just sent a patch that should fix this issue.

I've tested this and deployed. Thank you!
Comment 4 Michael Halstead 2025-02-26 20:57:08 UTC 
I've merged it into master-next. I'll wait for Tim to pull it into master.
