Detail View

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 also includes additional sections for features provided by R4J.

Each section in the detail view retains its expanded or collapsed state for folders and issues.

Open Revision Comparison

The Revision Comparison dialog shows the selected revisions side by side, with the higher revision on the righthand side.

Once the Revision Comparison dialog is open, different issues and revisions than those that were originally selected can be compared using the Issue and Revision dropdowns.

Due to performance considerations, if the field value contains more than 1000 characters, exact difference of the values are not highlighted.
