DOORS DXL: Document eval_() as part of the DXL manual and describe it in detail

Currently eval_() has last been documented in a 9.early version (most current) of the API manual for DOORS 9. It is a widely used mechanism for launching DXL inside DXL while using DXL to potentially manipulate the DXL code passed to eval_ based o...

DOORS DXL: Add support for single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in DXL string to eval_(), similar to how checkDXL() behaves

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.

We request the addition of a filter feature: The user enters a character into the filter-field and the list is automatically filtered according to the type character string. The filtering is position- and case-sensitive. See screenshots

New version of IRDRMFAO compatible with Office 365.

The incompatibility between the latest version of IRDRMFAO (dated 04/2016, almost 8 years old) and Office versions newer than 2013. For example, Office 365 (but also Office 2013) causes very serious problems, such as loss of information e.g.: when...

Provide means to authenticate installer downloads for DOORS 9, such as checksums

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 (...

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

Customisations are a major unique feature of DOORS 9 compared to all other tools in the engineering space. They frequently integrate with standard / shipped features / UI elements, and in recent years these standard elements are being encrypted by...
