Is there an equivalent to Attribute DXL in DOORS Next

Currently in DOORS v9.5 I use Attribute DXL to set a 'calculated compliance' position based on the compliance status of linked child objects (in a different module)

Is there an equivalent way of doing this in DOORS Next?

Hi Ben,

DOORS Next has a client extension API capable of doing many things you do with DXL in DOORS today.  Here are some references:

Extending the Requirements Management Application
Enablement presentation

I'd suggest having a look at the API specification to see if the capabilities it provides (ie - RM.LocationSpecification -- "Defines an intended location for an artifact in a module, in relation to another artifact.") will help you accomplish your scenario.  Hope it helps,

Ben, you will find a lot of nice examples on those pages listed in Benjamin's answer. 
As a demo of what you can do with the extension capabilities, consider this video: Capturing Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in DOORS Next Generation Using Templates and Extensions

A couple of things:

1. The extension capability is part of the 5.0 release of DOORS Next Generation. 
2. Be sure to brush up on your HTML/CSS and JavaScript skills.

Good luck!

Bob, this capability was actually introduced in 4.0.5 but has been enhanced in each release up to 5.0.2.
