Is it possible to make Requirements Mind Map across projects

In my Spira 8,15 I have a program for project development. The program is organised like this:

01 - System

02 - Software

03 - Electronics

04 - Mechanics

Each of these 0x are separate projects, which hold discipline-specific requirements. The projects are all associated (both ways) with 01 - System, which holds system-level (top) requirements. 

The requirements in Software/Electronics/Mechanics are associated (via Associations tab) with requirements in System.

The idea is to show a mind map of all requirements and its associations in from the System project, but when I generate the Mind Map, even if "Include Associations" button is clicked, the Mind Map only shows requirements in System project and disregards the associated requirements from other projects.

Is it possible to include all associations into the Mind Map, regardless of which project these are in?

Hello,

I think this is currently working as designed - shared product associations cannot be displayed by additional views. This is stated in documentation here: https://spiradoc.inflectra.com/Spira-User-Manual/Requirements-Management/#requirements-additional-list-views

You can only view requirements from the current product in four other views, whether or not you are sharing requirements from other products with this product.

Please feel free to ask if you have further questions.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

My bad, should have read the User Guide. Somehow I was under the impression that since in 8.15 it is possible select "Current Product" or "All Products" in Tree View, this setting would also affect the Mindmap view as well, as it would make a great visualisation of requirements structure across the entire program.

I am wondering if this functionality can be implemented eventually?

Hello,

There is an existing enhancement in our backlog [IN:11496] about this, however we do not have a scheduled release yet.

Would you like to get notified about the updates on this?
