Filters in Document Options

[TonyThorne]

I am having difficulty getting the filters in Document Options to work properly. My project is a set of requirements, which are nested. I want to be able to filter by 'Element Status Like Approved' but this only seems to work if the 'parent' elements have got this status set.

As a test, I have only one element set to 'Status Approved' and it is 4 nodes down my tree (the top node is a package). When I generate the report it does not appear. If I set its parent node to 'Status Approved' it still does not approve, but if I set its parent to 'Status Approved' then all three appear in the report.

However I only want the 'bottom child' node to appear not the parents.

Can anyoone point me in the right direction?

I am using version 7.0.815

Thanks Tony

Hi Tony,
I've just tried this with version 7.0.818 and it seems to work fine?
I created a few requirements set status of one to Approved, then made another a composite element and opened that and created more requirements and so on. I then opened the search dialogue, selected options->advanced and then 'Add filter'. Checked [Status], selected [isEqualTo], typed Approved, Checked [Required] and then ran the search. Only the approved requirements were listed as expected. HTH
