Marking files for review in RTC
Is there a way to mark,tag or stamp files in an RTC repository ?
The purpose is to mark specific language-dependent files within the source code for grammatical revision later.
Could comments on change sets qualify as a solution ?
A second part is how to check for those tags or marks programmatically from within an RTC client to be able to display and filter files according to their tags among the source within the RTC client.

Hazem,
there are no user tags for files in Jazz SCM. Versions are dome with baselines or snapshots. There is something called user properties in Jazz SCM, that allows to store user data with a file (version). These user properties are however under version control and changing them requires a change set. There are request to have user properties introduced to Jazz.net, which are not under version control.
The dialog shows the properties under version control:
there is something c

I suggest that you use the "approval" mechanism that is built-in to RTC. You can either add an approval to the work item that is currently linked to the change set that created the version that needs revision, or you can create a new work item, and link it to that change set. You would then use work item queries to locate the outstanding grammatical revision tasks.
