In RDNG, can I embed a module within another module?
![]() I have gone through great pains to create modules containing requirements artifacts. Now, I'm trying to create a new parent module that will have embedded within it the other modules, but when I try to "insert existing artifact", the artifact (module) I want is not available in the list box, nor can it be found even when I search for the exact ID.
What could I be doing wrong? If a Module is an artifact of artifacts, seems one should be able to continue to nest...
Thanks

![]() Hello Will,

Comments Thank you Erica. After reading the enhancement request's proposal and reasoning, I am puzzled why the development board decided to kill it. Seemed perfectly reasonable to me (I know - statements like that drive developers nuts... I am one...).
What's the process for re-requesting it? I'm very new to the forum and to Rational in general.

![]() A module is not exactly an "artifact", even though it has such artifact type associated. Put it simply, a module is a "requirement collection", while a requirement artifact is just a "requirement".
Comments Thank you Donald. Hadn't thought of the circular reference problem (doh!). Be that as it may, still would be nice to have a collection of collections... Hmm... there is something called a "Collection" as well in Rational; I'll have to look into that.
Thanks for the link to the enhancement request page.
