Creating custom link types (with cross-project traceability)


VK L (8177156159) | asked Jan 10 '12, 1:21 a.m.
Hi All,
I tried adding custom link types in the project area. When i try to link an artifact using this custom link type, the prompt to choose a different project area is disabled. It is enabled for the system-defined link-types though. Is there any way to enable it for custom types as well?

Thanks.

Unfortunately custom cross project linking is currently not possible, only system defined links can be used. It is a request that we have heard often to allow custom cross project links.

Thanks Bater.

Is this feature planned for the next release?

We appreciate the pressure and the need to be able to create custom link types in this manor and we certainly understand the requirement. It is not currently in scope for the next release as weve published here on jazz.net in our public release plan. We will continue to investigate during our release planning when we will be able to provide customization ability.

Hi Jared, approaching the anniversary of your comment here on this...is there any concrete plan to have this feature in any upcoming release?

Are custom links between projects in JAZZ 6.x?
