traceability from requirement to attribute

[CJ]

G'day folks,

How do you go about setting up, either directly or indirectly, a realization between a table attribute and a requirement object?

I've tried linking a note to a table, then linking that note to an "element feature" (a new column attribute), then linking that note to a requirement with a realization link.  The only problem is notes don't show up in the relationship matrix.

Any other ideas?  (I'm using EAv3.51 build 612.)

Thanks in advance.

Out of curiosity, why not link the requirement to the table, then add notes to the realization link describing the attribute on the table that actually realizes the requirement?

I know I'm not answering your question directly, but this seems like it may be a solution that's not "perfect," but one that may allow you to move forward with your design without getting hung up.

Thanks DMT,

Yup, that's what I've been doing since my original post.

To avoid typing, I've also created a link from the note back to the table, linking that note to an element feature (the attribute).
