Can/How to add custom attributes to links in doors 9.5.1.2?

So in Doors:

  1.  we can add custom attributes to modules and to objects ?

We can create link on objects:

 

But when edit I can not find way to add new attribute. Is it possible?

 

 

       2. Is it possible to add new attribute in the links using DXL? And are the same attributes of the object as this on the links?

Is it possible only to create attribute in specific link module not for linkset or separate link?

Yes. Link attributes are defined in the link module.

If you want different sets of attributes for different links, use different link modules, e.g. one link module per "purpose" of the link.

That's one of the ideas behind link modules, you can use several link modules between source and target module.

You can set attributes in the link modules as Mike mentioned in his reply, but the issue will be to access or to populate the attributes for each individual link. It is not something that is directly accessible for the module so you need to have some kind of script to create a popup to access the value of the link.

There are simpler ways to do things in DOORS. This is one of the most complicated one.

 

Saying that from your screenshots you are showing an external link and in the external links I do not think that is possible to add any other attributes except the ones defined and shown by the popup editor of the external link.
