Request to have the ability to add of attributes from linked artifacts to be included in DOORS Next Reports

Why is it useful? DOORS Classic had the ability to pull attributes of objects from different modules when creating exports. It seems like DOORS Next Gen cannot do this with the in-built Report Generator in DNG. i.e. "Generate Report for view" In addition, the Artifact Text is also incomplete in the generated Report Who would benefit from it? Everybody will benefit. This is useful when exporting requirement traceability reports where some information are kept in various attributes. How should it work? Currently in DNG, when creating a view, it is possible to display attributes of linked Artifacts by: 1. Open Change Column Display Settings 2. Add a Linked Attribute (example "Link From") 3. Format the added Linked Attribute 4. Select Attributes to display When a Report is generated from this view, the displayed attributes are not included in the output. In addition, the Artifact text of the linked Artifact is incomplete. Anything after a Carriage Return is omitted. The new feature should include the entire text and have the option to add selected attributes as part of the Report.

    The issue I have is that we are used to being able to see the full text of the requirement being linked (this is how it worked in DOORS classic) and we need to be able to see the Contents as that is the attribute used for the shalls. In the current tool I can't choose which attribute is displayed, Name/Contents/Primary Text none are options it just enters in the Name which we don't use. Perhaps instead of Name it should Default to Contents and not be limited to 256 characters.
