Milestone 6

Rich Text attribute data type for Requirement Management artifacts

A new system-defined Rich Text attribute data type (base data type: String) is now available in RM project areas. This data type can be found under Manage Properties > Attribute Data Types.

When creating new artifact attributes, you can select Rich Text as the data type to enable advanced formatting capabilities for your requirement content. Rich text attributes support formatting including bold, italic, lists, tables, and embedded images.

You can edit rich text attributes directly in the module editor, on the Artifacts page, or in the artifact details panel. The rich text editor provides a formatting toolbar for applying styles and inserting content. For more information, see Editing attributes in a requirements project.

Improved module view loading performance in local baselines

Module views in local baselines now load faster due to performance improvements. When you open a module view in a local baseline, the view loads more quickly than in previous releases.

This performance enhancement applies specifically to local baselines. Module views in baselines that are part of global configurations continue to use the existing loading mechanism.

The improvement is automatic and requires no configuration changes or user action.

Asynchronous view execution for artifact browser and module editor

View execution for the artifact browser and module editor now runs asynchronously, reducing failures caused by request and query timeouts when working with large datasets.

When you load large views, modules, or artifact collections, processing continues in the background instead of failing due to timeouts. Completion time depends on system load and data complexity.

This improvement is automatic and requires no user action.
