Auto numbering doesn’t work for imported requirements

[SparxUser19]

Hello,
I have auto numbering turned on for Requirements and while EA auto numbers any requirements that I manually create, it doesn’t auto number the ones I imported. Anyone else faced this? How did you get around?

TIA

How do you import them?

CSV import

Then assign the numbers in the CSV with the names accordingly. EA just takes the names and it would be wrong to add some numbers in any case. Just think what would happen if you import them a 2nd time: you would have new requirements with different names/numbers. Not what one wants.

Makes sense, although I wouldn’t mind a configuration option for this

Thanks a bunch!

You could adapt the csv macro in the EAScriptLib to do that for you. Shouldn't be that difficult.

You can also apply auto numbering to existing elements in the model. See:

Thanks. That is what I ended up doing!
