Hello!

I have a big module in Rational DOORS Next Generation where many artifacts were imported with indents from Word. Like next:
Indents in artifacts
I would like to remove these indents in all artifacts but it's very labored to do it manually. The main problem that I want to print these artifacts without indents in RPE generated document. The number of such artifacts is very big. Is it possible to do it for a group of selected artifacts at once in DNG?
Or may be, is it possible to remove these indents but saving all other formatting data when document is being printed with RPE?
Thanks!

Export/import via Excel will remove other formattings, remove images, ...
I would go for an Client Extension, where you can manipulate selected artifacts or all artifacts within a module as needed.
See https://github.com/jazz-community/dng-client-extensions for a template or example (e.g. "set-attrs" which iterates over artifacts within a module).

Hi Donat,

I'm thinking about the same approach.
Thanks to everybody!

Hi Dmitry,

Your best bet will probably be to export the requirements to CSV/Excel.

Tidy them in Excel using some scripting.

Then reimport into DNG using the id number as an excel/csv column to update the original artifacts.

 Have you tried a ReqIf export, edit in a text editor and then import?


This does;n' have the problem of Excel of removing other formatting.

In theory this should work, but for me it randomly changes over attributes.

Thank you for this advice! But I think building a custom extension is a good idea to reduce labor expenses if I will need to reproduce the same actions on more than one module.
