Reporting on Requirements does not filter on parents

Friday, January 3, 2014

Hi,

currently, there are 2 types of requirements: a real "leaf" requirement and a "parent" requirement.
This last type is for spirateam not a real requirement anymore. if a value for a specific field is set, filtering on that value will not display this parent requirement anymore. Same behavior is seen in the reporting.

But now I have a problem: my top level requirements are commercial requirements where the lower level (and leaf) requirements are more technical translations of that commercial requirement.
Both the top and the leaf requirements are linked to a release.
How am I able (via normal reporting) to only report the top (commercial) requirements. If needed, these will have a specific value for some requested field.

thx,
Filip

Hi Filip

The way the filtering system works is to only consider the 'leaf' requirements and it includes any parent requirements for those 'leaf' requirements that match the filter. So there is not a way right now to just filter on the parent ones.

Hi,

The current behaviour in SpiraTeam v6.14.0.1 in 2022 seems to be still the same as in 2014.

Now we have a field called "is Parent" in the Three view, but the filter using this field simply does not work. If you select YES it shows all requirements and if you select NO it does not show anything.

Do you Inflectra have any plans to solve this?

Hi,

Could anyone from Inflectra comment on this?
