Please support User Date and Time attribute as Reqif exchange in Doors Next

Please support User, Date and Time attribute as Reqif exchange in Doors Next


If Reqif does not support XMLSchema#date/XMLSchema#time/XMLSchema#user, please use other type like string or datetime in stead.


Expected Behavior

User Data type in Doors Next =>String type in Reqif => User Data type in Doors Next

( Not existing user will be cut off)

Date Data type in Doors Next =>DateTime type in Reqif => Date Data type in Doors Next ( Time part will be cut off)

Time Data type in Doors Next =>DateTime type in Reqif => Time Data type in Doors Next ( Date part will be cut off)


Currently, Doors next does not support User, Date and Time attribute as Reqif exchange.


Warning message about User , Date, Time attribute when exporting as Reqif but it is too late because a module already includes user date and time attribute and it take a lot of time to replace attributes.


It needs to take steps with several companies at same time.
