Add capability to reuse artifacts from different Project Areas and Components

Currently it is possible to re-use Artifacts within the same Component only. This is very restrictive and leads to unnecessary copying of Artifacts. It is a big problem Global configuration is in full use, and setup includes a lot of Project areas...

Restrict DNX to allow only In_Module Links

Current behavior: DNX allows creation of both base links (directly to a base artifact) an in module links (artifacts inside a module). In Continental we want to work mainly in modules and all links should be in module links, except the attachments...

Include "Double" as a datatype for creating attributes

The current Float datatype automatically rounds up the data entered which will be an issue for safety related requirements where precision is critical. This enhancement request is to add a new datatype double which will not round up the values to ...

Remove possibility to choose "Folders" during adding link

When I Try to add link, it could be useful not to have possibility to take the option "What to look in - Folders" because the two "views" "Folders" and "Modules" are different and so it causes unexpectable results.

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 ...
