What is "Plan Parent ID" in the CVS file when you export a plan from RTC?
I exported a plan from RTC and it created a CVS file with a "Plan Parent ID" column in it. What is "Plan Parent ID"? To me, it looks like it is just the parent id, and so I would like to understand how is is different from the Parent ID. Why is it called "Plan Parent Id" instead of just "Parent ID"?
Accepted answer
Thanks, couldn't find it.
- The plan parent ID provides the ID of the work item with the next higher hierarchy level for tree views (if such a work item exists).
- It is possible to use different relationships to show hierarchy e.g. Parent/Child or Blocks/Depends On or Tracks/Contributes to.
-
For this reason the plan parent will only ever be the work item "Parent" when the tree is based on the parent/child relationship. If the tree is built based on Blocks/Depends on, the Plan Parent will be the work item that Blocks this work item.
