Propagating Information from Change Request
The propagate functionality is available for creating change notices.
When you create a change notice from a change request, the Set Attributes step contains a Propagate information checkbox. When you select the checkbox, the following fields are copied from the change request to the change notice:
Name
Description
Need by Date
Affected objects (added to the default change task of the implementation plan)
Attachments
To propagate the attachments from a change request to a change notice when using a change notice template, configure the wt.change.propagateAttachmentForCNTemplate.enabled property in the wt.properties file. The wt.properties file is located at <Windchill>\codebase\wt.properties. By default, the property is set to false. When set to true, the attachments are propagated from a change request to a change notice.
Using the propagation functionality reduces the data entry to create the change notice.

The appearance of the propagate check box is controlled by a preference. If you do not see it, an administrator has disabled the preference.
