Importing Values to Tags
« on: September 15, 2011, 06:18:37 am »
I'm new to EA and used CSV Import to create requirements from an excel file.  I used a Profile to add tags to the requirmenets.  I now need to import the values for the tag, which are different for each of several hundred requirements.  The CSV Import only seems to allow importing of values for the predefined attributes.  

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Correct, tagged values can't be set (or read) using the CSV features in the current build. There are various people around who have used automation to do it though.

Might help you RaQuest(http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/3rdparty.html#RaQuest).

RaQuest's User Defined Attribute store EA Requirement tagged value.
And RaQuest can import CSV file with User Defined Attributes.

Or write your own tool based on the simple vba excel importer

Geert,
Great example.  I had no idea such an process was possilbe.

I've added another column, something like "Attritube Value" but have been unable to find the way to set the value in EA.  I can't find any documentation/description of "addOrUpdateAttributeTag".  Any ideas?
