Warn the user when duplicate artifact is added to the module

Currently, users are allowed to use same artifacts in one module which are duplicate entries and causes confusion for other users. It would be really useful if we get a warning message when the user is trying to add an artifact which is already ex...

Allow to send email to user who Locked Artifact from UI directly

If artifact is locked, new user needs to check who locked it and separately compose email to user and ask unlocking. Proposal is to allow sending email directly from "Artifact is locked" massage in UI. Similar function is in Doors Classic 9.0

When comparing configurations in DOORS Next provide a way for the user to specifiy attributes to ignore. Also need an option to ignore white space.

ERM Review Comment Restrictions for Control and Processing

When a Review is created in ERM, the list of participants is added. Nevertheless, if the link to the Review is sent to other people, they can add Review Comment. That is a little bit weird and annoying because there is no way to track them. Review...
