Include "Satisfied By / Satisfies" Link Type by Default in DOORS Next Projects

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently, when creating a new project in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, the default set of link types does not include "Satisfied By / Satisfies", even though this link type is listed in the official IBM documentation as one of the standard requirement relationship types: IBM Documentation: Link Types in Requirements

The "Satisfied By / Satisfies" link type is crucial for requirement traceability, especially in systems engineering contexts and compliance-driven environments (such as ISO 26262, DO-178C, or ASPICE). This link allows users to explicitly show how a high-level requirement is fulfilled by a system component, design element, or test case.

Including this type of link by default—just like other preconfigured types such as: "Embedded In / Embeds", "Extracted From / Extracted", ... would significantly improve usability and support standardized practices.

Thanks!
