Is there a way to automatically update a field/"Modified On" time when any relationship link of another artifact is added manually in the original artifact, through some JavaScript or widgets feature in DOORS NG?
When I manually add a system requirement relationship linkage to a custom Epic in DOORS NG, the Modified On time for the Epic does not get updated. The Modified On time only gets updated when there are any updates in the fields. I want to find a way to update this Modified On time for the artifact, when a user creates a relationship linkage between two artifacts manually.
One answer
I am pretty sure that it is not possible to change the modification date for any of the objects in the ELM tools. This would impact auditing.

I checked the link that you sent but I am looking for a solution where on linking an artifact to the original artifact the artifact's "Modified On" time should change to the time when the link was added. Since you said this is not possible as that would impact the auditing, is it possible to have some script in the background that would update a custom field in the artifact whenever a linkage between two artifacts is created? If yes, then could you please provide some resource from where I can learn to make such script.
This involves several applications where links could be involved. E.g. DOORS Next, ETM, EWM.
I am using DOORS Next RM. Is it possible for that using RMExtensionsAPI or some other API's for base artifacts inside a project's initial stream?
If the links are all between requirement data, maybe. If not you need more APIs, because the links are stored in the other applications.
