Module's Column(Artifact Attributes)-Blanked out.
For Project’s ModuleA, I had recently defined the following:
Artifact Data Type
•List_Documents
oEnumerated list of values
•Base Data Type: Integer
•Values LabelsArtifact Attributes
o 1 Dwg1
o 2 Dwg2
o 3 Dwg3
o 4 Dwg4
o 5 Dwg5
•DocumentsA few months back, for the same ModuleA, a similar enumerated artifact attribute was
•Data Type: List_Documents
•Initial Value: Dwg1
defined called “Classes”(enum values: Fresh, Soph, Junior, Senior) with default value: Fresh.
When I display Classes as a column within ModuleA, the column displays its correct default
value (Fresh) and can be easily “edited”.
PROBLEM:
But now, ModuleA open displaying its 100 objects, when I select “Documents”, I expect it to display
its default value(Dwg1) and be “editable”.
What I see: ModuleA does display column “Documents”, but for all 100 objects, the column is
“blanked” and non-editable. Any feedback on where I went wrong would be appreciated

Answering my Own Question: After re-visiting RDNG videos, I found the answer to
own question. The video's solution was indirect.
Since my project's ModuleA was an artifact type System Specification that contains
System Requirement objects, the solution was to take the enumerated artifact data type
and make it an "attribute of the System Requirement".
This allows the User to add as a Column ModuleA's "Documents" and edit it to
the desired enumerated value(Dwg1, Dwg2, Dwg3, Dwg4).
