Custom fields in the requirement properties window

[jmcdonnell]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add custom fields to requirements properties?

Specifically I'm after something like "Raised by" and "Reason".

If it's not, can anybody think of a good workaround?

Thank you in advance,

You could use tagged values

Thanks for the reply!  I'd already thought of it but I'm really looking for something more specific so that users wouldn't need to add the fields themselves every time they want to start a new project...

Create a MDG and define requirements that have the tags you need.

I'd like to give that a try!  Where should I start looking if I want to create an MDG?

For your case, simply setting up an appropriate profile for your requirement stereotypes with the additional tagged values (custom fields) should be sufficient:
