Link Validity configurable per attribute

Link Validity status change (to suspect) should be configurable and based on an option per attribute ‘Affect Link Validity' in project component properties.
Only if this property of an attribute is selected should changes to the attribute value cause the Link Validity state to revert to a status of Suspect.

    In ELM 7.0.3 this feature was implemented and is described as follows:

    Link validity enhancements

    Starting with the ELM 7.0.3 release, a project administrator can configure which custom attribute definitions affect link validity. Affects Link Validity checkbox is added to the Create New Attribute dialog box. When you edit requirements, only changes to those attributes must reset the link validity status. By default, the Affects Link Validity checkbox is set to TRUE for all new and existing custom attributes.

    When you create projects from the existing project templates, the default value of Affects Link Validity is also set to TRUE. For new project templates, the selected values are preserved.

    When you compare two configurations, the Affects Link Validity value shows up if there is a difference for an attribute definition. When you click Create Report for the comparison, the value is also included in the report.

    Similarly, when you deliver changes to a configuration, changes to Affects Link Validity are also shown in the delivery wizard.

    For more information, see Link validity and Creating attributes for requirement artifacts.
