Adding Requirements to a Requirements Model

[SwissSteve]

I would like to use the Addin API to create requirements from a word document and to automatically import these requirements in EA with automatic creation of the requirement ID.

I know you have an integration with DOORS but I cannot afford this product so I wll write a similiar but more basic functionality myself.

So has anyone any examples how to create a requirement entry programatically in EA?

Requirement creation (creating elements) in the Automation Interface is fairly straight forward, however I would suggest you look at the CSV import option first, as a simpler import alternative.  This can be imported from a spreadsheet - saved in CSV format. See the CSV import section in the latest copy of the Requirements whitepaper:

This paper also covers setting up user-defined "Attributes' simiar to the DOORS attributes.
