Test Result shall document a snapshot of the complete content of the related test artifacts (e.g., Test Case, Test Script,..) when it was executed

Current situation:
In a Test Result only a subset of the content visible in Test Case is documented (e.g. Content of field "Test Case Design" of Test Case won't be visible in a Test Result)

The Test Result artifact provide a reference to the used Test Case, Test Script, ...
Problem is that the test artifacts (Test Case, Test Script) referenced from the Test Result can be modified.
Consequently, the artifacts (Test Case, Test Script) linked from the Test Result do not longer reflect the state from which the Test Result was created.
Use Case Scenario:
The application project has to analyze a defect raised after test execution, linked to a Test Result.
If this analysis will be done with a delay of weeks, or month then in the Test Result it's not visible which version of the Test Case, ... has been used.
For him it's quite difficult to get the used Test Case version, to get all information for a detailed analysis.

Possible solution:
Provide the possibility to store all fields from the referenced test artifacts in the test result artifact.
This should be configurable in manage project properties.
