Mixed font in DNG artifacts due to pasting from other data sets
There is no easy way to clean up font across all or a selected set of artifacts in a module.
This makes it very hard to pull in data from different people and get a uniform look.ﾠﾠ
Is there some feature in DNG that we aren't aware of that we can select a set of artifacts and apply the correct font type to all?ﾠ If not is there a script that could be easily written to do this? |

I wish a solution could be implemented for a way to highlight a number artifacts at one time and perform formatting at once instead of clicking on each artifact, going in the "contents" attribute and changing the font. (Sharepoint has something called a Datasheet view, where you can do anything like in Excel, including pasting text).
As Sean F has pointed out you have to find creative ways to work around the tool to do the job.
I have also noticed we have a lot of issues in RQM in the test steps, if they are pasted from word, the font goes crazy when generating the out of the box reports. (some steps it is huge, other steps it is normal, and other steps it is tiny). Very time consuming to edit font sizes.

Hi Vani,
choose the default CSV instead of switching to XLSX
Just import immediately after exporting without changing anything in the CSV
Be sure to exclude any artifacts with pictures and also any artifacts with rich-text mark-up that needs to be retained (bold/italics etc.) from the view to be exported as pictures and richtext would also be lost when doing a CSV round-trip for format clean-up.
I would also suggest that you exclude headings from this round trip as I have had some occasional strange data corruptions when round-tripping heading text values via XLSX round-trip. If you need to clean up headings too then make a copy of the module with duplicates of all artifacts or else make an archive as a backup first. |
As the answer above states using XLS/CSV will mean that all formatting will be 'lost' on bringing the artifacts back in.
I found that using ReqIf allowed specific formatting to be removed / modified / added.
However, I also found an unexplained problem in re-importing the ReqIf where unrelated attributes randomly changed. IBM were unable to reproduce and I never got to a satisfactory conclusion.
