Make Internal Requirement External
Elements in Enterprise Architect have internal requirements, or responsibilities (what they must do or accomplish). These often overlap or duplicate more formal requirements that the system in general must meet. You can move internal requirements to external requirements (where the requirement can perhaps be implemented by multiple elements) in one go, using the Move External function.
How To:
To change an internal requirement for an element into an external element, follow the steps below

The requirement is now marked external and the dialog fields grayed out. To edit its details, double-click on the requirement.
The requirement element is now located in the target package.
