Editing Custom Requirement Properties

To edit a previously created custom requirement property:

  1. In the menu, click Project:<Project Name> > Project Settings .
  2. Click the Requirement Properties tab.
  3. Click the name of the property you want to edit. The Edit Requirement Property dialog box displays.
  4. Edit the name of the property in the Name field. When the property is available for use, the name will display in lists for filters and requirements. Properties can be used in global filters for filtering by requirement properties and can be applied to requirements.
  5. Edit the Description of the property.
  6. See the Custom Attribute and Requirement Property Types topic for descriptions of each type of requirement property. You have different editing options depending on the property data type.
  7. 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.
  8. Click OK to save your changes.
