Validity Summary shall show Summary of all Link Validities including OSLC links

Aligned Solution with IBM: Minimal Solution (Low Hanging Fruit to be fixed immediately): Change the Validity Summary description within DOORS Next. Appearing during hoover over of the Validity summary. See attached screenshots: attachment 2312 (ValiditySummaryDescriptionAtDOORSNext_2.png), attachment 2313 (ValiditySummaryDescriptionAtDOORSNext_1.png). Currently the description reads as: "Validity Summary - Overall artifact status based on the validity of relevant links." For us the statement relevant is absolutely misleading for the users, because also OSLC links are in our case relevant links at DOORS Next, but the Validity Summary is only showing the summary of internal DOORS Next links. From IBM perspective the Validity Summary is working as expected and also dependent to the OSLC specification, but they also agree that the description can be misleading. Solution: The proposal from IBM is to adjust the description of the Validity Summary dependent to the description of the current description in the Jazz Help. So that it is in the end clear to all users that the DOORS Next Validity Summary is not showing the summary over OSLC links and only for internal DOORS Next Links

    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 based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.

    Based on the previous discussion, IBM suggest text be added "Validated By (links to downstream test cases) links are ignored in validity summary calculations" which aligns with the IBM Docs https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/elm/7.0.2?topic=elm-link-validity.
