UID for Project\Folder should be generated at the time of creation for Migration Package to avoid conflicts. This is generated when the export is done. Generating the UID at different times causes confusion\conflict if there is a use case where th...

ReqIF option 'No locks. Exported data is read-only.' should instead read something like this: 'No locks. Update not possible'

The current option wording is misleading for customers. A ReqIf-Export without option to update exported date is something that is not the intention of primary function of ReqIF: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requirements_Interchange_Format "R...

ReqIF definintions and ReqIF IDs are NOT taken into account if archive and restore a project
