How do I shift-copy multiple rows from one DOORS module to another DOORS module?

Background

In DOORS, you can select multiple rows of a module by holding down shift, then clicking on multiple rows. The text will then highlight red to signify that you have the rows selected. You can then either copy, or copy with hierarchy. However, you cannot then paste the resulting rows into another module.

Question

Is there a way to paste multiple selected rows from one DOORS module to another DOORS module?

Solution

  • Yes, This is possible. Use the inbuilt tool from DOORS to do this. TOOLS-->FUNCTIONS-->COPY OBJECTS This tool is used from within your DOORS module that has the original objects.

    Make sure you have your module open that you want to copy into.

    The tool lets you select the target module, just make sure you have it open and have selected the position in the module you want the copied objects to be pasted.

    Select the attributes you want to copy across. Use the Copy drop down menu to select how many objects your copying across, e.g. just the selected ones, all the ones in the view, children, or entire module.
