Cannot prevent changes during review period

Somewhat a symptom of not having in-tool review. Cannot prevent changes subsequent to review/approval but prior to delivery of a change set. Change set state is either open or delivered. No "Under review-don't make changes" state. Since have to do...

Can't see just your own differences between changesets

Can't see just your own differences between change sets. Mixed in with everyone's diffs. Very confusing to see just your own diffs and get misleading visualizations so that now have to dive into each to confirm if real changes or not.Difficulty wi...

Primary text functionality and mapping is not clear

Primary Text functionality and mapping needs to be clear. Currently for Requirements artifact, we use "Title" for "Requirement Name", and "Description" for "Requirement Description". So the use of "Primary Text" is not clear. To make the situation...

DN - filter for "limit lifecycle status" can not be applied in linked artifacts

When applying a filter for linked artifacts I am not able to add another filter for existing OSLC links like "limit lifecycle status". This will be mandatory to be able to use e.g. the connection to workflow items for release assignment. Use case:...

Enable Filtering in Views from Attributes of Linked Artifacts

We would like to be able to filter a view in the UI based on a value (or portion) of a linked artifact. Sorting would also be nice. The importance of this is that it's apparently possible in DOORS 9.6 & we keep getting bludgeoned by DOORS fans...

Display Embedded Artifacts in "Where Used"

In "Where Used" you can see if an artifact is used in Modules, included in reviews, etc. - but not if it is embedded in anther artifact! This means it can be included in sveral modules - and that is not displayed. This makes impact analysis go wrong.

Add capability to customize ‘default' comment targets within review and non-review.

This request is to add the ability to customize who is the default recipient on an artifact comment. There are a few ways this could be implemented, such as a default field on all artifacts that defines who comments are sent to (including a field ...

Automatic glossary detection after import

After importing a new artifact or module containing multiple artifacts then the user currently has to perform multiple searches in order to add, or link multiple glossary items. Surely this could be automated to highlight matched existing glossary...
