Items (objects, modules, projects, folders and others) in DOORS 9 client, have a properties - access panel, which has an 'add access' button. The 'Add Access' dialogue behind it, is of fixed size, which can lead to overly long group and usernames ...

In Word to DOORS export, add document structure management similar to RTF import in DOORS.

The current Word VBA to DOORS import addon is lacking behind the feature scope of the RTF importer in DOORS client. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/doors/9.7.2?topic=modules-importing-rich-text-format-files ....

Request to introduce a hierarchy structure to the DOORS views list. Long lists of many views become easily unmanageable in the current UI. Introducing categories under which view names can be grouped will greatly enhance the user experience with long view lists.
