Change Data Type of Existing Artefact Attribute
My customer has created an Artifact Attribute called Priority as a Data Type of String. They now wish to change the data type from String to a Custom Attribute Data Type (Priority) that will enforce Must, Should, Could, Won't.
Is there a way to change the existing Artifact attribute from String to point to the new custom Data Type? If not, what does IBM recommend? |
