Should creating a requirement link to an approved Test Case be allowed?
I have a test case that's in an 'Approved' state. If I use RQM to navigate to the Requirements Links section, the 'Add New Links' button is non functional. However, I can create a 'Validated By' link to the test case from DOORS and save it successfully. When I refresh the test case, the new link is now in the Requirements Links section. Is this a bug?
Accepted answer
The short answer is "It's not a bug. It works as designed." It has to do with the way the two products handle the introduction of new links. There's a detailed discussion available in a work item that I will provide a link to as soon as I can find it.

The work item I mentioned can be found at
CCM cannot create a back link to a test case that has a state of "Approved" (66632)
there are some related work items you can find on the Links tab.
