DNG ReqIF Export: View-based export shall only export attributes that are in Export View

Description

The DNG ReqIF Export (when using an Export View to export) shall only export attributes that are in the Export View.

There shall be no "forced" export of any attributes, i.e. there shall be no attribute that always is exported regardless of whether it is in the Export View or not.

Motivation / Reason

If a user defines an Export View for a DNG ReqIF Export, the user expects to only export the attributes that are within that view.
Any attributes that are exported that are not in the user's Export View may contain confidential information that is not supposed to be exported to a third party. Even if the information is not confidential, the additional, unintended data may lead to confusion on the importing or the exporting side and goes against user expectation.


Currently, DNG ReqIF Export always exports the attributes "Artifact Format" and "Category", regardless of whether they are in the Export View or not.

    This is possible - I tested in 7.0.2SR1 and 7.0.3, but this may also be possible in older versions.

    This is how to control the attributes exported in reqif:

    1. Create a view of the module with only the desired artifacts and attributes visible and save this as a shared (public) view. This view will completely control which artifacts and attributes are exported, when used as described below. the view must be shared/public

    2. Start creating the reqif definition.

    3. Click + Add Module and in the Select Modules for Export dialog:

      1. Choose the module - but don't click Add or Add and Close yet!

      2. On the lefthand side of the dialog choose the Select View tab and choose the view - this view specifies the artifacts (i.e. if there's a filter it will also be used) and the attributes which will be exported

      3. Click Add View

    4. Note that the reqif definition will show the module name followed by "(View: <view name>)"

    5. This final step is optional but means you'll also get the named view (but without any filter that is in the source view) in the imported module: Click on Views (which initially shows 0 selected) and choose the view in the module

    6. Export

    The exported reqif will only contain artifacts and attributes as shown in the source view, plus the various reqif attributes like ForeignID.
