…source The file data source allows specifying flag information as a full flag definition, or as a shorted map of flag key:value mappings. In the case of the flag values, or in the case of a malformed flag definition, a flag version might not be specified. When this happens, users of the flag tracker will notice an error because the version comparison code will encounter an unexpected nil value. To prevent this from happening, the file data source should be setting a version for each flag or segment it reads. When these items are modified in the LaunchDarkly UI, we automatically increment the version associated with the item. To make this easier for the user going forward, the file data source will handle incrementing this version number each time the file is re-read.

This does result in some behavior change.
If you modify a single flag, all of the flags are going to appear to have changed since we are incrementing all of their versions. This is what the Java SDK does.

It is probably fine, but I know we have a few different ways this behaves.
Node: Only update the version if it thinks it changed, but the logic may not be the best. Each flag has its own version which increments from wherever it started if it was in the file data.
Dotnet: One shared version number that applies to all flags.
And some that had this previous behavior. Something we may want to write a spec for at some point.
Both are technically things that could happen with a real client.

comparison code will encounter an unexpected nil value.
