Consistency of Plan and Deliveries?
Situation
Several developers work on several plans and streams in the same Project Area. A certain plan ABC will result in necessary deliveries to a stream ABC. So typically there will exist a relation between a certain plan (and its elements) and a certain stream.
Complication
Our developers -today- have to know to which stream a certain delivery resulting from a planned action will have to go to. So they have to know that all deliveries planned by plan ABC will go to stream ABC but no other stream. If they unintentionally will deliver to a different stream, their changes will be lost.
Question
Is there a possibility to improve that? E.g. developers were asking for something like a "stream attribute" in plan elements (tasks). With this information, the tool could prevent delivery of contents to wrong stream.

One answer
Hi Armin,
unfortunately I think there is no trivial solution for this today. I would be happy for other user's input.
I tried to add an attribute of type Item (representing a RTC repository item) to a work item. If you configure the presentation, you have various choices for items to pick. Unfortunately Stream or workspace is not among the choices (image below). I would consider an enhancement request.
You could try to use a string attribute and put in the name string and potentially a HTTP Filtered Value Set to provide choices.
You could create an advisor that makes sure delivery fails if the delivery target is set to the wrong stream.
Just a thought.
