Inflectra Customer Forums: Requirement against User Stories in 4.1 (Thread) Hello We have just installed Spira Team 4.1 on a test server to explore the new features. I have been wondering why "User Story" is a selection type for a Requirement. In my organisation, Requirements are treated separately and User Stories and Acceptance criteria are written based on the requirements. In fact, I created a custom property called "User Stories" in Spira Team 4.0 to capture this as part of a requirement specification. Can anyone throw some light on how they use "User Story" as a requirement type rather than being a separate entity in itself and what benefit this would have?

In addition, you can then filter the Planning > Requirements list to only show user stories and not other requirement types (use cases, qualities, etc.) Regards Sarah.

How do you do that? If I try to do it in your demo project I just get the user store changed to a package where I then can add the use case under. The problem is that I need to have spire to sync with Jira so I'm tryifng to figure out how much we need to change in our Jira workflow so they match. Hope to hear from you soon.
