You can change or create other elements in the document in a similar way. The changes will be transferred into the exported ReqIF or RIF file, but the document in the tool will not be changed. In the example above the name of the attribute “Priority” will be changed to “Importance” in the resulting file but will remain “Priority” in the tool.
The import can be changed in the same way as the export
