Enumeration data type [message #1720008]

Can the enumeration data type be used with a spec type, in order to provide a list of items, from which one can be selected?

Using the example of a priority field:
Must
Should
Could
Won't

Hello Max,

Yes, this is possible. You need to create an Enumeration DatatypeDefinition and assign it to the AttributeDefinition of the SpecType

Also described in the Handbook: http://formalmind.com/handbook?page=sec-datatype_configuration.html

Yes, thanks - worked it out from those instructions. Question - is there any kind of multi-select enumerable available? I wish to have a field that allows me to select multiple entries for a requirement (specifically if a requirement can be traced back to more than one customer)

Yes, in the AttributeDefinition: select the Attribute in the SpecType and you find the property "Multi Valued". This is kind of unintuitive, but that's how ReqIF is structured.
