Transfer History is updated when asset is modified

[drmVR]

Enhancement

We want to hint users on which version of the Asset the transfer was done.

Description - What happened? *

When editing an asset, the Transfer History in the Connector UI is also updated, eventhough the asset description was a different one when the contract was negotiated.

Expected Behavior *

The Transfer History should persist the asset at the time of the contract negotiation.

Observed Behavior *

The Transfer History is updated and displays the modified version of the asset.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create an Asset, Policy and Contract Definition.
• Consume this data offer with a second connector.
• Edit the Asset.
• Navigate to "Transfer History" and open "Asset".
• The modified description will be displayed.

The situation is even more complex. Not only Transfer History, but also Contract History is updated as soon as the asset was edited.
For the Contract History the requirement is pretty clear: the asset description at the time of the contract negotiation should be persisted.
For the Transfer History different solutions are applicable.
The best one: the asset description at the time of transaction is persisted.
The second best one: the asset description at the time of contract negotiation is persisted.
The third best one: the current solution.

Therefore the logging of asset changes is absolutely crucial, not nesessarily "the complete change history and versions" as stated in the linked issue, but at least a timestamp of the change.
