Update Use Case Status from Requirements Status

[PatrickS]

Hi!
Having Requirements imported from DOORS and mapped DOORS status to EA status, I am now able to display the status visually within EA. However it seems to me important that some changes of Requirements status would reflect to statusses in the realizing Use Case. Is there a way of doing this (i.e. mapping Use Case Status to Requiemrents status) in EA?

Only by using automation.

Can you give me some more hint, how to realize a task like this with Automation? Can I subscribe to an Event like "ChangedStatus", inquire within the EventHandler if it was a Requirement that was changed, find there the Use Case that the requirement realizes and eventually update programmatically this Use Case's status?

Something like that yet.
There's a whole host of OnPre<someAction> and OnPost<someAction> operations in the API that you can use to react to changes in the model.
