Creating a Custom Requirement Property

To create a new custom requirement property:

  1. In the menu, click Project:<Project Name> > Project Settings .
  2. Click the Requirement Properties tab.
  3. Click New Requirement Property to display the New Requirement Property dialog box.
  4. Type a Name for the new property and optionally a Description.
  5. Select the data Type of the new property from the Type list. See the Custom Attribute and Requirement Property Types topic for descriptions of each type of attribute.
  6. Optionally check the Required check box. Required custom properties must be set when creating a new requirement. On the New Requirement dialog, required properties that are not yet set display with an orange background and a red border.
    Note: Existing requirements are not affected. But when you edit existing requirements, newly created required custom properties must be set as well to be able to save the requirement.
    Note: Child requirements do not inherit required properties. If desired, these must be set explicitly for child requirements as well.
  7. Click OK.
Your custom property is available to all requirements in the active project.
