Add a feature that tracks (and/or controls) DXL scripts database wide during runtime and beyond.

Currently DXL scripts offer powerful customisation options, but since they're entirely run client-side, it is hard to manage them centrally and database wide, especially when they impact performance or stability, or when maintenance tasks require ...

Expand DXL to allow creation and management of ReqIF Definitions in DOORS projects.

Currently DXL can control ReqIF operations, but not their most crucial component: definitions. This stops automation in essence, as ReqIF definitions still need to be manually created in the GUI.

DOORS DXL: Add support for single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in DXL string to eval_(), similar to how checkDXL() behaves

Currently eval_() cannot handle single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in its input string parameter, as it prematurely escapes string. This limitation is not documented, and therefore not clear to users. This limitation contradicts ...

ERM DOORS DXL security shall be more granular and allow super DXL users and standard DXL users

Currently the DXL security tab only specifies "Only users with Edit DXL power may edit and run DXL". This shall be more granular and allow different levels of DXL users For example: Level 1 DXL users are allowed to generate/modify attribute DXL/la...
