Can requirements be imported from spreadsheet into a DNG module into multiple sections (under different heading rows)?
I am using DNG version 6.0.5, no Configuration Management. <o:p> </o:p> Let’s say my module contents is organized hierarchically as follows: <o:p> </o:p> 1.0 Project Title <o:p> </o:p> 1.1 1st Section Heading <o:p> </o:p> 1001 1st requirement statement <o:p> </o:p> 1002 2nd requirement statement <o:p> </o:p> 1.2 2nd Section Heading <o:p> </o:p> 1001 1st requirement statement <o:p> </o:p> I want the requirements to end up with the same artifact ID in more than one section (heading) in the module. <o:p> </o:p> For example, in my spreadsheet I have a requirement, let’s say the Name and Primary Text are “The system shall perform X.” <o:p> </o:p> I want this requirement to be imported under two different headings. Let’s say the heading artifact IDs are 1000 and 2000. <o:p> </o:p> In my spreadsheet in the parentBinding column, I have successfully imported the requirement when I set the parentBinding cell to 1000. <o:p> </o:p> In a similar manner I imported from a spreadsheet with the parentBinding 2000. <o:p> </o:p> However, the artifacts are created with new and different IDs. <o:p> </o:p> Is there a way to set both parentBinding numbers in the spreadsheet for the same requirement? If so, how? |

When I import the following Excel table, I get new artifacts for each row, but I would have expected the last row to be the same artifact as the third (a002). So that’s annoying. <o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p> I created a new heading, exported, modified (yellow row is the change): <o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p> Imported that and now get this! It moved the 591041 from under 591039 to under 591044. <o:p> </o:p> So I manually inserted a same artifact (591040 after 591041), exported, made no changes, and imported. That worked, in that it kept both instances of 591040 where they were. <o:p> </o:p> Finally I modified that export by moving the last row up a few lines. <o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p> And got this error: <o:p> </o:p> ID CRRRW7571E ... <o:p> </o:p>
