How to create a bidirectional (e.g. parent-child) relationship within a module?
I try to create bidirectional links between artifacts using doors next within an RTC 4.0.6 installation. It does not matter whether to use build in ones, like the parent-child relationship, or bidirectional user defined links. The symptoms are the same in both cases:
Any other suggestions? |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

I don't have an answer, but a couple of questions to help narrow down what is happening.
Your questions led me to additional tests:
My mistake was that I created the link from within a module but when searching for the target artifact, I did not select the search option "Rows in module" but "Artifacts".
But still I it is very confusing that, if doing it like this, there exists one side of a bidirectional link that is existing in the scope of the module and the other side is NOT visible in the module but from outside of any module (the "real" location).
I am still asking myself about any use case where a part of a bidirectional link is not within the same scope. Especially when linking artifacts within the same scope.
I'd expect the global side of a bidirectional link to be at least VISIBLE when viewing the artifact from within the module (link colums or opening the artifact from inside the module). May be with a hint that the link originates from outside the module. Anyway I find it very confusing that I don't see it at all when browsing through the module.
I did not try now but I'd expect that the same behaviour occurs when linking between different modules.
