RELATED IDEAS

Better, more consistent, understandable name for filter "Limit by lifecycle status"

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The filter name "Limit by lifecycle status" is very unfortunate.

The naming style is totally inconsistent with all the other filter names such as "Artifact type", "Modified by" or "<some_attribute_name>". All these other filter names describe the filter target data, with only nouns in them.

In contrast to those, filter name "Limit by lifecycle status" describes an action which this filter will achieve, with a verb in it. This does not fit to all the other filter names. The fact that applying them will "limit" the view is implicitly given, as they are filters. No need to mention that explicitly in its name.

If you would name all other filters consistently, you would have to name them e.g. "Limit by artifact type" (instead of "Artifact type"), "Limit by modified by date" (instead of "Modified by"), "Limit by Attribute_ABC" (instead of "Attribute_ABC") which would by rather ugly. Good that this is not the case. But: That one filter name "Limit by modified by date" still is ugly, and not consistent to all others.

Therefore: Could this be renamed, please? Some suggestions for better names:

  • "Linked lifecycle status"

  • or just "Linked status"

  • or I am open for other suggestions :-)
