Remove TC section ID & XLSArtifactID after creating link with testcase.ID=testscript.XLSArtifactID
Hello,
My spreadsheet has multiple cases and scripts on one tab for 1x1 linking as users do not care for multiple tabs.
Our naming convention needs to be retained as we start test cases with 'TC_' and test scripts with 'TS_'
My issue is that the test case is getting created with two new sections, one named ‘ID’ with text containing the test script name, and a section named ‘XLSArtifactID’ with the test case name.
From reading Hao’s reply to my previous post it sounds like these new sections are being created in support of that one-to-one linking. Is that correct?
If so is there any way to programmatically remove these sections after they are created?
It appears that all is okay when I manually remove them so to clean things up I'd like to include removing these new sections in this process after linking the artifacts if at all possible.
Or am I still missing something... An updated config is below.
Thanks again,
Scott

the new section will not displayed on RQM UI,
so if you still think it's needed to remove the section, please open a new enhancement for disable create the XLSArtifactID section.
and another way to programmatically remove these sections is to customize the urlutility and to get the xmls and remove the sections named ID and XLSArtifactID section.
Hi Hao,
I am still not clear if I should expect to see this section and need a RFE.
You say, 'the new section will not displayed on RQM UI' and mention the need for an RFE.
Please this latest post.
Thanks,
Scott
I found there's a global attribute named id
https://jazz.net/products/rational-quality-manager/api-doc-3.0/api-files/schemas/vega_xsd/attributes/id.html
so it displayed on UI, if you don't want to display is you can change the config file
change
testcase.ID=testscript.XLSArtifactID
to
testcase.scriptID=testscript.XLSArtifactID
to have a try.
