Cannot Insert Artifacts into Existing Module
![]() I don't know what I did, but suddenly, I cannot insert artifacts into a module I created with several requirement artifacts. I was able to do it earlier, but not any more. I can still edit the attributes of the individual requirements. If I select the edit pencil on the left end of a row and click on the little down arrow, the first option I see in the list is "Insert New Artifact". When I select that, the four options that appear to the right are all grayed out. This is a test environment that I am just using to learn. I'm sure I did something without knowing it that caused this, but I don't know what I did. What can I do to put things back so I can again insert requirements? |

![]() Before IBM Jazz RM 6.0.3, it was not possible to do structural changes (like inserting artifacts) in a module as long as either a sorting or a filtering are enabled in the current view.
I think the reason is that there can always arise problems if you try to do structural changes on data where you don't see all the structure.
This limitation was removed in version 6.0.3.
If you use version 6.0.2 or earlier of IBM Jazz RM, can you please check whether you have a sorting enabled or a filter is active in the module to which you cannot add artifacts?

Comments That was it. Thank you Philipp. I'm still learning, so I had created an attribute that matches the level numbers of the Contents column. I clicked on something and got the artifacts out of order. So, I sorted by my level artifact, thinking it all looked good. I see now that one click on a column heading sorts low to high, a second click sorts high to low, and a third click reverts to the original unsorted order. This is different and not obvious but easy to remember. A technote has recently been published regarding the same issue.
