Enforce Link Constraints when User changes Artifact Type

Enforced Link Constraints enable consistency of trace and trace reports. Link constraints are assigned to artifact types. Since a user can change an artifact type, the link constraints for the new type should be applied during the change. Should an existing link assigned to the former type not be compliant to the new type, the non-compliant link should be removed. The current version of DOORS NG allows the illegal link to be maintained after the artifact type change is applied which breaks the link constraint and breaks all supporting trace reports. The typical user will create this defect in the system while the system should block its creation in the same manner as a link constraint block creation of a non-compliant link.
