Publish DNG module attributes with RPE
How do I publish DNG module attributes using RPE? I am referring to a module artifact type, which has default and custom artifact attributes. How do I access these?
Accepted answer
Bob, not sure when/how I learned about this. Thought it was on you tube videos.

Bob, there is a whole series of YouTube videos on how to do this. They are very helpful. This is where I started and have working RPE templates generating docs from DNG. RPE Template Tutorial

David, thanks for your response. I have reviewed about 10 videos at the link you provided, but none of them discuss accessing module attributes from DNG modules using RPE. Several of them explain how to access the title attribute of a module but no other attributes, whether default or custom ones.
Bob, not sure if you ever found a solution but the following has worked for me:

Paul, thanks for the follow-up on this thread. What ultimately worked for me to access default and custom DOORS Next module attributes (important: I'm not talking about non-module artifact attributes) is as follows:
- Configure a data source configuration element with the reportable REST URI for a DOORS Next module (or POX profile). The URI that I used came from the "dataSource/info/about" branch of the "views" data source for publishing DOORS Next views.
- Navigate through queries to dataSource/artifact/collaboration/attributes/objectType in order to access default module attributes OR
- Navigate through queries to dataSource/artifact/collaboration/attributes/objectType/customAttribute in order to access custom (user-defined) module attributes
