Inherit "Release links" from parent GC for PGC

When working in config enabled world, we always use changesets to make changes in DNG streams.

As you are usually working in a GC context, the tool then automatically switches to your personal global stream.

If you need to have links to work items, from DNG side, the "Release" link setting on GC level defines which work item links you can see.

Currently (7.0.2 and 7.0.3), this is an explicit setting on the Global Streams as well as any related Personal Global Stream.

The setting is copied at the point in time when the PGC is created, but it is not synchronized in any way.

 

The Tool shall automatically inherit (but not copy) the setting of the Global Stream for any Personal Global Stream, maybe unless it is explicitely set on PGC level.

In this way, the PGC would be always in synch to its parent GC except a user wants to test something.

In addition, a hint would be good to e.g. tell the user to remove the Release link in his PGC to switch back to synchronisation with parent GC.

 

Unfortunately again an example where a good idea is not fully implemented and therefor causes more (inconsistency) issues than it solves…

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea and it is a valid request. We eventually would like to consider this in the context of other improvements for teams using Global Configurations. Unfortunately we don't believe this is in our 18-month development time frame, so we are declining it for now.

    Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.We see this as a valid request.
