SysML requirement id tagged value

[rgahrens]

I hope that someone in the forum might be able to help me with assigning values to the SysML id tag. I have already imported my requirements into EA using a .csv file where I categorized each requirement (during import) using the SysML1.4::requirement stereotype. I also added a few requirements using the specification manager. In both instances, I generated a new requirement number, which is now a part of the requirement name. As an example: "REQ221-Input Power" What I would now like to do is assign values to the SysML tag "id" - which I probably should have done on import, but when I set up the .csv import, I did not realize that I could have assigned a value to this tag.

So, is there an easy way - possibly via scripting - that this can be done? I have several hundred requirements in the model and I am trying to avoid having to go through each one and assign the "id" by hand. On a related topic, I have enabled auto-numbering for any new requirements, but the assignment is again made to the requirement name. Does anyone know if auto-numbering can be activated for the id value for requirement stereotypes?

Thanks for your time and help.

Scripting that is not too difficult. You run a query for your requirents and if I understood correctly you can match them by name. Now you can retrieve the "id" tagged value and assign its value to what you had forgotten.

You could also export the requirements (include the guid so the imports will update the existing requirements, not add new ones), assign the tag value, and re-import them.

bknoth2 - Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try before I try qwerty's scripting suggestion. I have a number of satisy links tied to each requirement, so I'll be curious to see if the export/re-import maintains those links.

Export and re-import worked great - Thanks for the help
