Need some method when choose modules based on text format Artifact types in exist data.

An error happened when creating and exporting ReqIF for an existing module after upgrade from version 6.0.3 to 7.0.2.

Error:
Export failed due to a violation of the ReqIF specification - modules and artifacts cannot use the same type

Reason is an existing projects in customer environment have data of the same type as Requirements Specification in both module and text formats.
It was fine with DNG 6.0.3, but the spec changed since 7.0 for ReqIF compatibility.

Therefore, it is necessary to consider how to avoid error. 
For example:
Need method for the before upgrade data by checking errors or adding logic for warning messages.
