CSV Import
« on: March 11, 2021, 09:52:12 pm »
Hi
I am importing requirements from a csv file and that part is working
The requirements in the resulting EA package are in alphabetical order, whereas the the requirements in the csv file are not
It would help me if the order in the csv file were reflected in the import package

Is this at all possible?

Thanks

You would need to import the tpos value as well, but I'm not sure if that field can be selected in the CSV .

If not, you'll have to find an alternative, such as my excel importer.

Try to select "Free sorting" in Preference.
But its more useful to have some sorting for requirements.
Create an Req numberings in your csv/excel file, as REQ0001...REQ9999 etc and use Alias field when importing .
There is an utility i https://community.sparxsystems.com/ to sort by Alias in projekt browser.
