Review related requirements without repeated navigation
Show Linked Attributes displays chosen information from a selected IBM DOORS Next artifact alongside attributes of linked artifacts. Engineers can review relationships while keeping the current requirement and related information in view.
It helps when review depends on attributes of another requirement, not just link existence. Users filter the display by relationship type and attribute.

Inputs and displayed result
Inputs are a selection, existing RM links and display settings. The output is an in-context information view. Bulk editing, link creation and report generation are not established capabilities of this widget.
Technical fit and boundaries
Module context and a selected artifact are required. The widget works exclusively with RM links; relationships to other ELM applications are outside its stated scope. Exact release support, installation, record access and environment-specific prerequisites need confirmation.
A practical question
Can it display attributes from linked tests or work items?
The stated scope is RM links. Assess cross-application review separately rather than assuming support for every linked application.
Commercial scope and next step
Confirm eligibility, installation, support and charges. Provide the release, relationship types and exact source/linked attributes reviewers need. An anonymised review question helps assess whether the displayed context is sufficient.
