DNG: Export 'linked display columns' values to excel
Steps to reproduce:
- Link two requirements in DNG (e.g. use 'Link To') (Ensure to have correctly set link constraints if appropriate)
-
'Brows artifacts'
- Configure columns display
- Change Column Display Settings
- Select link (e.g. Link To)
- Format
- Select attribute (e.g. Description)
-
Save the view (Notice the description being directly shown in this view)
- Export to excel
Notice that the column 'Link:Link To' does not contain any values. Expected was the description in this column.
How to export what I see in the view?

Hi Peter
I have tested the above scenario in 6.0.2 and it seems to be working fine. The Link:Link to column is populated in the case the link is originating in the artifact; otherwise the Link:Link From column is populated in the case the link is going from the artifact.
Please ensure the view is saved and the column contains values; it might be a good test to also add the Link From column to the view and check its behaviour when exported to CSV.
If the above does not work I suggest you log a PMR to support so we can further investigate your use case.
Thanks!
yes, you can display in DNG in a view additional attributes of the linked source.
no, with the default export command to cvs or xls this information is not directly exported
if you have a closer look at the cvs or xls file, you see on the url of the linked source.
how to get this information:
choose JRS, run an report and export this to excel
in JR you can , like in the view, select the link relation to another source and in the format chapter select the attribute, you want to see from the linkes source.
