Question
Is it possible to copy or export an entire record type in IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® Designer?
Answer
There is no functionality within ClearQuest Designer to copy or clone an entire record type. The record type must be recreated from scratch. A Request for Enhancement, RFE RATLC01203218, exists for the ability to copy record types. It is available for viewing on the RFE Community Web site.
It is possible to export the record forms for a record type, which avoids having to redesign a new form.
To export a form:
- Right-click the form and select Export form. This will export a file with a .frm extension. Specify a file name that is identical to the original form name to identify the form's purpose.
Note: Any fields in the form that do not exist in the new record type will either need to be removed from the form or added to the new record type.
- To import a form, right-click Forms in your target record type and select Import form > select your form to import and click Open.
