Need a Wizard feature that can be resumed even after the Serialized Object's Class is changed between the releases

NC Child Welfare system has a contact log that can be saved in the wizard state DB and resumed later before the data gets dispersed to individual DB tables. It is designed based on the requirement that while a contact log is created, the worker may have to save the data and resume it later. IBM PD had suggested using Curam Wizard and Wizard state functionality. The downside of the wizard state is that the interim data is stored as a serialized object. Suppose there is a change to the serialized object class between the production releases (Like adding a new attribute as part of the release). In that case, the user cannot reopen the previous version of the wizard state objects. This is limiting users' ability to resume the wizard. Either they need to delete and re-enter the data or the code needs to support backward compatibility for each release, which is not a sustainable solution.

RFE request is for a sustainable wizard state solution in which the wizard can be resumed after the serialized object class is changed.
