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 ...

To the AddAccess dialogue add the ability to filter with position- and case-sensitivity on (group or user) names to reduce the (result) list of groups/users displayed.

Update the DOORS DXL editor with an IDE and a debugger

Currently the DXL Editor consists of two plain text elements: an input box and an output box. They are poorly suited for either task: entering DXL and displaying DXL output. An editor resembling a basic IDE and a form of debugger to step through s...

Ship unencrypted DXL with DOORS client, so that users can maintain and expand customisations as standard features and their DXL change between versions / fixpacks

Other products in the ELM range document their installer checksums (see https://jazz.net/downloads/requirements-management-doors-next/releases/7.0.2SR1?p=allDownloads&md5=true) We are asking to do the same for DOORS 9 on the relevant portals (...

Allow to redefine 'main column' in a view, to reduce unnecessary data exports where Object Heading+Object Text aren't required.

Currently, exporting data from views, a kind of 'main column' which is hard-wired to Object Heading + Object Text is always included. Exporting these two attributes may not always be desired, for example where requirements are documented in multip...
