Looking for an auto-updating, on-stage presentation version number, also updated in scorm asset / manifest files

We develop about 4 SCORMs a week on our team, and publish each SCORM with at least 3 or 4 different formats for different partners and clients.

It's become increasingly apparent we need a versioning system, and we're also looking into source control to track changes and manage the different versions. This is particularly challenging when we make an update, and need to ensure that each separate instance gets the change. Other use cases involve verifying that partners and clients are using the latest version, which can only be done by reviewing their presentation.

As part of resolving this, I am looking for a way to put a version number on the first slide - so that we can view a presentation in Moodle and identify which version we're looking at - that is more dynamic and functional than a text box we have to update manually.

Does such a thing exist? Or if not, is there an easy way to create it?

I'm aware of the Publish Settings > Quiz > Configure > Manifest > Course Version number.  I'm not using that because:

• It seems that can only be updated manually
• I'm unclear what impact it has on our LMS (we use Moodle)
• There's no on-screen representation of it

Our ideal implementation is as follows:

• Scorm is developed, with on stage version text incrementing on saves, or through some button click.
• An external file is updated (manifest file or project.txt or some new file) that can be read by developers and dev tools like bitbucket or whichever source control we can find.
