      Buildmaster contains a .Net action to Write Assembly Versions (Updates AssemblyVersion, AssemblyFileVersion, and AssemblyInformationalVersion Attributes (in Assembly Info source files). These actions are made on the build server but are not saved back to the source control system.

      Is there anyway to save the modified AssemblyInfo.cs back to source control system? This would need to be done without the check-in leading to an infinite loop of BuildMaster. For example the check-in triggers a new build which leads to an update in the AsemblyInfo.cs, which on save to source control triggers a new build, etc etc.

      Product: BuildMaster
      Version: 4.6.4

        It's not recommended to check-in the modified assemblyinfo.cs file. For a few reasons, including the one you identified: it causes issues with source control related to the build. But moreover, attributes in AssemblyInfo.cs are metadata more than code; in other platforms (like Java) these are always added as part of the build process.
