Custom Attributes


renee nelson (781918) | asked Mar 13 '12, 7:10 a.m.
We have the RRC Analyst add on, created custom attributes in our CSV spreadsheet and uploaded it. Everything went well.

I want to know if there is anyway to add in mass (not one by one) the new custom attributes to the other older project requirements that we already have in various folders that have been uploaded before we created the new attributes.
thanks!

I suppose it depends on what you want to set the values to. If you just have some default/initial value that the attribute is set to on new artifacts created after the custom attribute and you want the other artifacts of the same type to have the same value (instead of a blank value), I suggest creating a filter for artifacts of that type that do not have the attribute set (ie - Artifact Type = Use Case Specification, and "Custom Attribute" does not exist).

You can then multi-select the results and select "Edit xx attributes" to bulk-update the values.

Hope it helps,
