renumbering requirements
« on: August 27, 2010, 10:43:30 pm »
Hi, I have a lot of requirements and want to numbering them now. Is there a way to do it automatically. The autonumbering feature is valid for the new requirements if I understand it well. Thanks a lot.

You need to write a script or tweak it via a database SQL.

On the same topic - do you or anybody else have a suitable script or ideas on how to set this up? I've discussed with my colleagues that we need something that not only makes a unique ID on all requirements, but also puts that value e.g. in a tagged value. That way, if a user mistakenly changes or delets the requirement key, it's still available.

Robert,

See here
http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1284577244/1 to find the locations of examples.

If you want to add tagged values as well I would go with a script/addin/program and work with the API.

The excel importer contains a section that adds tagged values, so that could be a good start.
