Constraints in DocStudio
Constraints are applicable to fields in
DocStudio. If a constraint is violated during edit or create operations,
DocStudio displays an appropriate error message. For example, if a constraint has been created to restrict the value of a field within a range, an error message is displayed if a value is specified outside the range. For more information on constraints, see the topic.
Managing Constraints.
The following constraints are not applicable:
• Constraints for restricting allowed values
A constrained field that is set to display only allowed values shows all applicable values instead of displaying only allowed values. For example, if the Test Method field in a Test Case is constrained to display only the allowed value Performance, then this constraint is not applied in DocStudio. As a result all the applicable values: Manual, ITF, and Performance are available for selection for Test Method.
• Constraints for auto saving field relationship
In some cases where one field is constrained by the other, constraints are applied only after a Save operation.

If constraints that are dependent on other fields are not applied, then open the item in another interface of Windchill RV&S for the constraints to work. For example, if the state in an item is changed to In Progress, then a related list may not get populated with the required values. In such cases, open the item in another interface for the required values to be displayed in the list.
