Cannot handle Rich Text format in Import/Export using CVS format - RRC 4.0 and 3.0.1.2
I tried exporting a Requirement Artifact in Rich Text format (that includes Rich Text elements like Tables, Bullets, Numbering, Bold Text, Underlined Text etc) which gave an output file in CSV format. Now I tried to Import this downloaded CSV file back into RRC using the ReqIF functionality in RRC 4.0 . The requirements that was created or imported from the CSV file has lost all its Rich Text formatting (i.e., all the rich text elements look jumbled) . Is this a known issue or am i missing something?
Notes -- 1. I see the same issue in RRC version 3.0.1.2
Steps to Re-produce this Issue in RRC 4.0 and 3.0.1.2 -- 1. Create a Requirement artifact with Rich Text elements

Why is my question not renedered properly? I tried even pasting in plain text format. No use.

As indicated in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values
"CSV" is not a single, well-defined format (although see RFC 4180 for one definition that is commonly used). Rather, in practice the term "CSV" refers to any file that:
The key to your question is "CSV" is plain text, so when exporting from RRC it is converted to plain text. Now with RRC V4 use ReqIF to export and import, this should also preserve the rich text formatting, as well as the type system, so you can exchange data not only between different RM products like DOORS 9.4 and RRC V4, but also between RRC projects. This help topic explains the different data exchange capabilities in RRC V4 https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc%2Ftopics%2Fr_compare_data_exchange.html |
