Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts to use the 'Link by Attribute' feature with a value that has more then 1024 characters fails in IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG).
Symptom
This Link by Attribute feature was introduced in version 6.0.1. When a user selects the feature and uses it to create links to a large number of artifacts, the result is that links are not being created even though there are ID values in the attribute selected.
