ETM Excel Importer allow DNG Links to propagate from Test Script to Test Case

We would like the ETM Excel Importer to support DNG requirements links propagating from the Test Script to the Test Case. If a team creates a Test Script manually in ETM and links those steps to a requirement in DNG, the result is that the link propagates up to the parent Test Case by responding to a couple of on screen prompts. It has been discovered that the ETM Excel Importer can't handle the on screen prompts and as a result, the links do not propagate to the parent Test Case when creating the links using the Excel Importer. We would like to request an enhancement to the Excel Importer that allows it to handle the prompts so that when a link is created from a Test Script Step to a DNG requirement, that the link propagates up to the parent Test Case. If the team performs these steps manually; meaning: 1. They manually create a Test Script with Steps in ETM 2. Link those Test Script steps to a requirement in ERM 3. Manually Create a Test Case in ETM 4. Relate Test Case to Test Script from Step 1 5. The requirement link propagates to the Test Case (The requirement that was linked to the Test Script Steps in Step 2)
