Description
Describe the Bug.
The "Compare versions" UI are not showing the fields in a document with tabs. Look at how the diff tool shows the information about changed fields in collapsed mode, but when expanded, all lines are empty. Below is also proof of the two versions in the DB.
Reproduction Steps
Add a collection with tabs. In a tab, add simple text fields.
Save a text fields. Go to versions. Try to compare.
