RQM (Not) Versioned Executable Variables

Using RQM we noticed that Executable Variables are not versioned and they are the same across the Streams.

Basically if we edit / add / delete an executable variable in RQM, this change is reflected in all the other Project Area's streams.

We would to have the executable variable versioned as, for example, Project Properties in DNG.

There is we change something (Artifact Type, Artifact Attribute, Etc.) the change affects only the stream where it is done / delivered.
To have the same change in another Stream we should deliver / accept the change set with the set f changes we want.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Note, artifact execution variables are version aware. And the values of the project level execution variables should be version aware. The names of the project level execution variables are not version aware.
