Integrate entities of model-based and text-based specification

I often get the question by user of the Jazz platform, why the model-based elements (Rhapsody model elements) and the text-based elements (DNG artifacts) are not in fact the same entities.
We have some engineering entities which we represent on the one hand in the model, e.g. for functional decomposition, and on the other hand within the specification, e.g. as headings with requirements to the artifact beneath. If for example the name of the engineering entity is changed, we need to change it on both sides. (And the name is an example here)

How cool would it be, if the Entity is only defined one single time ->  the modeling views and the textual specification are  then only different views on the entities. 
Best case working is possible as well from the model view as from the specification view ->  e.g. also working on requirements directly from Rhapsody would be possible and not only to reference DNG artifacts.

I think this is often the expectation from our users when they hear we have one platform with modelling capability and requirements engineering.

    Hi,

    Thank you for bringing this to our notice, the RFE Review board looked at this and decided to keep it on the future release backlog.
