Multiple instance of custom tag in element possible?
« on: June 20, 2016, 07:18:06 pm »
Hi.
I've created a custom tagged value : a reference to a JIRA task that realize a Requirement. Is there a way to enter two or more instances of the tag in for an element, for when a requirement will be realized by more than one task?

Tag name needs to be unique. However you could store your references as a list in the tag value.

You can make as many tagged values with a given name as you want (no need for unique names).

There a little options button on the tagged values window that will toggle the option to show tags with the same name.

PeterHeintz: are you refering to an actual 'list' structure, or do you mean comma separated values in a single string?

You can specify a TV as being a drop down. Enter the following in the Detail of a new Default TV:

Code: [Select]
Type=List;
Values=A,B,C;
Default=A;

and you have a list.

I did not refer to a specific solution: A comma separated string list could do that or a maintained list (if you are able to). Another possibility would be using the EA JIRA Connector (http://www.deiser.com/ea-connector-for-jira/ ) and using relationships rather than tags.
