Adding tags to locked items

Randy Dahlgren
edited August 2016 in
When an item is locked by a workflow (ie Approved) the only way to add or delete a tag is to move it back to draft, adjust the tags and then re-lock it (reapprove it). This shows up in the history and when tagging a lot of items this can be tedious, Is there a way to configure locked items so it is possible to modify the tags without unlocking them?

    Randy, there is no configuration available here. Tags cannot be added to locked items, regardless of the source of the lock (workflow or user lock). Tagging is considered an edit, for better or worse. Worse, in your case. I can change this question to an Idea so that we can consider making a change to how Jama functions.
  • I'll add a +1 for this as a feature

    In our case, teams want to to modify tags after approval to then create custom filters based on the tags. E.g. you might tag 'internal' vs 'customer' for visibility on what requirements you are willing to share or tag 'datasheet' for results you have chosen to publish.

    This is especially important for automotive projects under ISO26262 as their process dictates that moving an item to approved needs a review cycle.  This means changing back to draft just to change a tag isn't feasible.

    It may be that tags should be decided on a per project basis whether they go under revision control

    Thanks
  • Hi Randy, Kristina and Tim,

    from our testing point of view it is also a big disadvantage to not being able to tag system-locked items. In contrast the system-lock itself would be a big possibility for us to help us staying focused on the items' workflow and also empowers the locked state.
    We would like to use the system-lock for released items, but also depend on additional tags afterwards for creating filtering (especially as the embedded filter got deprecated with JAMA 8). Randy's workaround is not feasible for us, as it would be cumbersome to perform multiple status change for each new filter needed.

    @Kristina
    Please consider this as an idea or any other topic, as you mentioned, to leverage the change to how Jama functions.

    Best regards,

    Hello, 

    This Idea seems to be getting a lot of traction lately! How are you currently utilizing our Tag function to categorize and organize your projects?

    More generically it would be great to have a check box when configuring item fields to not lock the field. Much like syncing or not syncing the field

    Some of our usage of the Tag function

    • Organizing the work on requirements among difference teams
    • Marking of issues which are required intention
    • Managing variants.

    It makes sense to allow Tags changes on a locked item because Tags are not revision controlled.

    Locking should have no impact on properties that are not revision controlled: locations, tags …

    I support your Ideal, Jeffrey, but to keep it according to the rule above, I'd like to be able to configure fields as excluded from the revision control system and so from the lock.

    Fields without revision control & lock would be an alternative to tags to define after-facts filters a more structured way.

    Thank you for your input on how you use this functionality. Have any of you created any workarounds to take the place of this functionality you are asking for? This can be using Jama or another application.

    Christian:

    Enhancements to revision control would be considered a separate Product idea. Could you describe more on how you would utilize filters and fields (w/o version control & lock) to be an alternative to tag functionality?

    Hi Chloe,

    As use case, I'll refer you to Tim's Post (number 3)

    "Teams want to modify tags after approval to then create custom filters based on the tags. E.g. you might tag 'internal' vs 'customer' for visibility on what requirements you are willing to share or tag 'datasheet' for results you have chosen to publish."

    This would be a perfect match for fields w/o version control & lock: he knows upfront that a visibility field will be needed but he wants to lock his item before he has the visibility information.

    I don't like the tags because anybody can create whatever tag so it needs a lot of discipline not to become a mess. Fields w/o version control & lock address that concern.

  • Christian Binard
    edited August 2019

    I have also interest in fields w/o version control because I'd like to run automations that would populate some fields with information from related items (several levels below). This to build some Items' embedded summaries. Today, we create mini-reports to provide this overview but those need to be triggered manually each time.  Automation is today disregarded because this would generate uncontrolled number of Item versions.

    Hi Kristina, This option would also help us. We would prefer this as a configurable option, so that every project can decide, if they want to allow tags on the locked items or not.

    Hi Chole, 
    Is there any updates for this feature requests. As a workaround our teams are using comment function, which is really ugly. We want to use the tags after approval of the requirements for quick filtering to know if the requirements are derived on lower level or not yet.
    Locking an item by the workflow is a good function, but such a limitation makes us to think, if we want to lock the items by workflow.
  • Anja Airasvirta
    edited January 2020
    This is exactly the same case with us. Now locking the items based on the state seems to be something we cannot use together with tagging.

    Just to share a workaround for this... you could create a "Tag" itemtype that can have downstream links to the items you wish to tag. As long as the tag itself is unlocked you'll be able to create relationships and use it as a dynamic tag even on locked items. You can create filters based on this.

    Advantage over tags is that you can create folders etc of your tags to help organise them. Disadvantage is it makes your item diagram messy!

    NB you can do this for a "Release" itemtype too, if you have complex Releases that requirements come and go in.

    You can also use categories.
    You have to enable "Allow category management for locked items" and use categories instead of tags.
    The actual advanced filter rules are quite limited (only category path, not category), but it worth to give it a try.

    My ticket at Jama Support about the "Manage Categories option not showing when using the Select all items checkbox in a filter result with more than 50 items" was closed and it was told me that it is not a defect because working as designed.
    I think I am missing something ... that makes the assignment of categories to items a nightmare for the user (case more than 50 items). How can it be? Please think about to fix this (defect or not defect)

    I am on-prem and I can enable categories to be assigned to locked items. No idea how it works with the cloud variant -> go for Jama support.
    I can confirm your issue with selecting "many" items and the "manage category" button disappearing -> I have an open support request for this ... I think it is a defect

    I'm using the 8.80 cloud version and I CANNOT add Categories to a Locked item.  It is also limiting as when you do attempt to do a bulk add of Categories, once you select 50 or more items the Category option disappears and you have to start unselecting things until you get below a threshold then it will appear again.

    Can someone from JAMA confirm: with the Categories feature being allowed to apply to locked items (we've not validated 8.79 yet) is this intended as a solution to this issue?

    Just to share that while the workaround above is good, it does cause problems if you want to base filters on it, when it comes back to the nested filters issue... if I want a filter that includes all the items downstream from items using this "tag" itemtype, you can't do a grandparent filter :(

    Just to share a workaround for this... you could create a "Tag" itemtype that can have downstream links to the items you wish to tag. As long as the tag itself is unlocked you'll be able to create relationships and use it as a dynamic tag even on locked items. You can create filters based on this.

    Advantage over tags is that you can create folders etc of your tags to help organise them. Disadvantage is it makes your item diagram messy!

    NB you can do this for a "Release" itemtype too, if you have complex Releases that requirements come and go in.

    Yes, definitely need this feature.  Also, this should be configurable for every field ie. we should be able to chose which fields are locked when an item is approved.  The current system is very inflexible.

    When an item is locked by a workflow (ie Approved) the only way to add or delete a tag is to move it back to draft, adjust the tags and then re-lock it (reapprove it). This shows up in the history and when tagging a lot of items this can be tedious, Is there a way to configure locked items so it is possible to modify the tags without unlocking them?
