how to map a Doors column to requirement type?

[Martin Terreni]

I'm working with Doors and I cerated there a requirement type column similar to the values in EA, but I can't map any value to requirement type

Any ways I'm missing?

I have the same issue. If it doesn't appear in the list of fields in the Mapping Wizard, then you cannot load it from DOORS. The same holds true for the CSV import and export functions of EA. The Requirements Type is not a selectable field in the CSV Import/Export Specification dialog either. Adding it to the list of selectable fields should be an easy enhancement for both products that would provide a more complete solution.

Another behavior to be aware of is mapping to tagged values. One might assume that the Created By, Created On and Last Modified would update the related EA fields, however, understand that they are mapped to tagged values by default; user defined fields. This becomes very clear whenever you open the tagged value view and select a requirement element. You will see that tagged values are created for the element in the view, but the properties dialog for the requirement will remain unchanged.  The Created By can easily be mapped to Author, but you cannot change dates to reflect the original requirements in DOORS. Once again, it would be nice to have the ability to map to actual fields of the requirement element.

I'm not completely sure that this is what you're wanting, but at least for the CSV import you should be able to specify the Requirement Type using the stereotype field.  I don't know if this is available using the Doors addin, but if it is it should work there to.

Thank you Simon. I am able to use the Stereotype field for a CSV import, and it also gets dumped during a CSV export. The DOORS addin does not list this field for mapping. Any chance of adding to DOORS addin as a future enhancement?

Put in a request using the feature request form.
