Does ClearQuest Synchronizer support n-to-1 mapping?
Below is my synchronization planning base on my current CQ schema:
CQ RTC Record type 1 Work Item type 1 Field 1 <----> Property 1 Field 2 Field 3 <----> Property 2 Record type 2 Field 4 <----> Property 3 Field 5 Does CQ Synchronizer support this mapping scenario? Where record's fields of multiple record types are mapped into properties of a single work item type. |

I agree with Donald,
as far as I am aware, you can link one record type to one work item type. You have only the attributes of the record type and the work item type to map. RTC creates a proxy for each synchronized item and keeps a 1 to 1 relationship between those. It detects changes on one side and propagates them to the other based on this connection.

Doesn't it mean that you want to link multiple CQ records to a single RTC work item (forget about the field mapping first)? Just imagining how to tell which records to map to which work item already makes my head spin. I suppose there are some relationships between the CQ records, but I can't see how it can be captured in the mapping.
