The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
When making a simple change to a class property e.g. property "name" from class "Person" - I want to extend the size of the String attribute from 30 characters to 60 characters in a production database (source code has been stripped).
The change will trigger a database reorg as expected. However, the hundreds of methods that reference this attribute needs to be recompiled from several different schemas.
In order to extract those methods from a source code source e.g. a development copy of the production system, I currently need to view the references of that property and copy the list of methods from the References popup form and create several unl files so that I can extract the source code from several schemas.
Instead of the above mentioned lengthy process, I could log in the development system as a new user, make the structural change, then extract the changes to the database made by this "new user" on a particular day (date range) e.g. today. The idea I am suggesting is for an option to extract multiple schema changes in the one source code extract task.

I'm pretty sure you can do this with patch versioning, but if you instead deployed your systems with encrypted schemas, JADE would be able to recompile the methods without reproviding the source.
