Hi , When the test team import test case using excel sheet, it throws error saying as below:

Can you tell me is there a way we can increase the categories limit value? Or how the below error can be solved?

Hi Vidhya,


There is a (documented) 50 category types per artifact type per project area limit including archived/purged categories.  Note, there is no limit on the number of category values.  For more details, see:

Need a way to handle purged categories and recover used category slots (97723)
Allow user an option to preserve values when reassigning a root category to a parent category (110660)

However, there are work-arounds:

1. Create a new project and duplicate the required test artifacts to the new project.

2. In 6.0.3, we introduced an experimental Advanced Property (Test Component >> com.ibm.rqm.planning.service.internal.ColumnMappingService >> Maximum number of categories for an artifact type) to increase the 50 category type limit up to 100 (see Add additional slots for categories (151956)).  Note, after a value is set, you can only increase it: you cannot decrease it.
