List Values for the Priority field
« on: February 18, 2011, 01:12:17 am »
We would like to use the MoSCoW values for the Priority on a requirement but the they seem fixed to High , Medium , Low. Is there any way  of configuring these values?
i.e. Must, Should, Could, Would

Hello.

At the moment I think the dropdowns are hard coded, but version 9 is just around the corner and many people have asked for this feature so..... who knows.

In the mean time there are three work arounds I know.

1) Update the database directly.
 Table t_object field PDATA2

2). Export the requirements to CSV.
Edit the CSV in excel adding the correct Priorities.
Import the CSV file.

3) Internal Requirements.
If you open up the properties dialog of an element the Third tab is requirements. Create an  internal requirement ( the priority allows free text).

Using the above .. errrm ... bodges... the Priorities will display correctly in generated documentation and CSV/XMI exports but, apart from bodge number 3 ) when you go to edit the requirement in EA you will be presented with the High, Medium, Low choices again :-(
