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.
