With DOORS Next today, we can add images in the main attribute (content) of requirement artifacts because it is of richtext type. But there is no richtext type available (like in DOORS classic). Projects need to enrich their specification modules ...

Provide feedback while exporting or import CSV-file from within a view menu

Exporting or import CSV file from within a view menu does not provide 'feedback of progress' or an indication that the job is still active. Users are advising that they cannot figure if the job has completed or just failed. The issue is causing fr...

Better, more consistent, understandable name for filter "Limit by lifecycle status"

The filter name "Limit by lifecycle status" is very unfortunate. The naming style is totally inconsistent with all the other filter names such as "Artifact type", "Modified by" or "<some_attribute_name>". All these other filter names describ...

links are not following the data model after change of artifact type

Observed behavior: I figured out that there is a link “Derived from” from a Requirement in one PA to an Information in another PA, which is not supported by the data model. (limited by a defined Linked Constraint) Steps to reproduce: Initially, th...

ReqIf import: No hidden, non-alterable mapping tables which can mess up a project area

Overview, use case: We want to exchange requirements with a customer who uses DOORS Next, too. We have already set up a project area with the same requirements i.e. same artifacts and same attributes as our customer. Our customer modifies some of ...

Define validation rules for attributes / data types

Validation rules contribute to the requirement quality by ensuring that requirement attributes are filled out correctly and consistent. There are several possibilites to enrich the validation possibilites in Doors Next (right now only boundaries f...

Define required attributes for specified type + workflow state for an artifact type

Analogous to IBM EWM (Precondition: Required value for type and state) it would be very useful if there is a possibility to create rules to ensure that if the artifact reaches a specific state in a workflow, a value for an attribute is set by the ...
