Overview

The requirement detail view displays the information about a requirement. The view is located on the right side of the project tree view and is visible if a requirement is selected in the project tree. Requirements are Jira issues, so the information in the detail view is, in principle, the same as the information in the standard Jira issue view, but extended with also includes additional sections for features provided by R4J.

In the top right of the view, you can edit the requirement using the standard Jira edit dialog or transition the requirement through the applicable workflow. To open the issue in the standard Jira view in a new tab, select the issue key.
