JAZZ RM - Delete Artifact Type


Christopher McDaniel (159) | asked Sep 11 '20, 8:03 a.m.
I am unable to delete an Artifact Type in JAZZ Requirements Management.  I get the following message: "You cannot delete this artifact type because it is assigned to an existing artifact or artifact template."

I suspect that a standard installation of JAZZ requires at least one artifact type to exist and therefor I can't delete the original one that was part of the initial installation.  There are no templates with this artifact type used and all artifacts are deleted. 

Or is it because deleted artifacts are actually archived? 

Using JAZZ RM version 6.0.6

Thanks for any help!

 Hi Christopher,


If You have created baselines in the past please remember that this artefact is in the baselines too.

If You do not have baselines deleting of all the instances of the artefact of the type You want to delete should help.
