add Properties view back in menu of component and baseline to see the UUID of artifact

Before v7.0.2 we were able to view "properties" of a component or a baseline in EWM to see the UUID. Why it has been deleted in 7.0.2? This is usefull for users in Eclipse client.

    Update 2026 from the Jazz France user group

    Context: Today, we are using EWM to manage our source code. To ensure traceability and to be compliant with ISO 9001 / EN9100, we need to create version description document which allow us to identify the version that we are delivering to our customer. We are providing the baselines and the snapshots.

    Problem: To ensure unicity, we are providing the UUID of the snapshot/baseline of each component. We can’t provide the name as it can be modified by a user after a delivery. Before 7.0.2, we add an option to get the UUID from the EWM client but it disappears now. We need to copy paste the URL of the element and get manually the UUIS which can cause a risk to miss characters.

    Impact: Loss of time to find the right information with a risk of error during the copy

    Goal of the idea: Have an option to get the UUID easily.

    Why it is useful ?: It will allow to get the unique identifier of each elements.

    How should it work ?: From a baseline or snapshot on EWM Eclipse client or Web, we click on an option to get the UUID

    .The EWM RFE Review board looked at this and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.

    The "copy URL" option needs to paste the result to see the UUID. It is not user friendly enough compare to the action "properties" which displayed the result in a wizard without having to change of page.

    In order to make a decision on this, the EWM team would like to understand if a 'Copy URL' option available from the Baseline Editor will solve the purpose and address the need because this option will be available in our next release (EWM 7.0.3)?
