There is no provision to surface or reference Baseline details directly within the Test Run window, making traceability and version comparison cumbersome

When a linked Test Protocol or Test Specification is modified, the system fails to raise a suspect flag during execution, increasing the risk of running outdated test scenarios

There is no built-in mechanism to filter out failed test cases from an existing test set and automatically generate a new test run for those failures. 

We would like to understand if the below requirement is possible in Codebeamer. We are creating the Test Run from the test cases, In bottom we have to select an Test Configurations.Currently it is possible to select the multiple Test configurations while creating the test run, Is there any possibility to select just one Test Configuration out of available options ?Also, Suppose I have 100 of test configurations So it is very difficult for me to view and select the required test configuration, Instead of it If we have the drop down field of selecting the Test Configurations that would have been a better choice.Is there any possibility to achieve this also ?Please refer case details 18077804 for more information 

When a Test Case tracker is created using template inheritance, the option“Make a copy of the items and link the target item with the copies” is not consistently available, and copied test cases do not retain their original status.This behavior is observed while copying test cases from a base Test Case tracker to a template‑inherited Test Case tracker The copy option “Make a copy of the items and link the target item with the copies” is not displayed.Test cases copied via drag‑and‑drop are created with status = Draft, even if the original test case is in another status (e.g., Approved). Please refer case details Case Details - 18070485 for more information 

Hi Team,We’ve just recently upgraded codebeamer and our issues numbering became very large from 40000s to1000000s. Is there a way to optimize the numbering system in codebeamer? Another option would be if there is a way to have custom unique numbering for each tracker for each project i.e. SRS-001, SRS-002 and so on instead of the i.e. SRS-1094089. Is there an integrated function to do that?Thanks,Victor

Hello Team,I have created a Test Set (Testing Cycle) containing 20 test cases and subsequently generated a Test Run (Testing Cycle Run) from this Test Set.For execution purposes, Customer would like to assign specific test cases within the shared Test Run to different users—for example:Test Cases 1–5 → User 1 Test Cases 6–10 → User 2 Test Cases 11–15 → User 3 Test Cases 16–20 → User 4Customer would like to use test set as a validation plan where they can plan the test cases an assign to the different users.Since there is no out-of-the-box functionality in Codebeamer that supports assigning individual test cases within a shared Test Run to different users, Could you please consider this as enhancement request ?Business Impact :- Currently customer having approx 100 users in Validation team and they are not able to use codebeamer as per above mentioned usecase.Priority :- High  

Hi, As system and project administrator in Codebeamer I need to develop scripts to fulfil the requirements of my users, when the out-of-box functionality of Codebeamer is not sufficient. F.e. I want to prevent having multiple downstream references from items within the same tracker. Coming from RVS Trigger Scripts debugging was a pain, but there were extensive JavaDocs available. With Codebeamer all I could find was some examples (https://support.ptc.com/help/codebeamer/r2.1/en/index.html#page/codebeamer/developers_guide/649989.html#), but no documentation which objects or classes are available and how to use them. How do you actually develop custom scripts?Am I supposed to just guess which Beans are available?

Hello,I'd like to ask if it's possible to create external applications for aggregating data from Codebeamer by directly loading data from the Codebeamer database instance (MySQL)?I'm asking about this from both a technical and licensing perspective (does PTC allow such an action) before we begin any work.

Hello all, I've been tasked with creating some WorkflowActions that shall obtain data, process it and write the result to an item field (text, choice, table - differs per WA), where the triggering Member lacks write access to the field. A use case is (e.g.) writing "administrative data" to item fields that are not visible to members with certain roles (e.g. "Externals" or "Non privileged" regular users). Since a WorkflowAction is, by design, always executed in the context of the triggering user, this cannot be achieved by default. Is there a way to execute these field updates under a different user context (e.g. "system user") from within the WorkflowAction, or to run the WorkflowAction itself under a different context? Another approach could be utilising the "Execute as" mechanism available for some "predefined" WorkflowAction (disabled by default) - is there a way to use this from a custom WorkflowAction (possibly with a "hard wired" user, defined in the WA)? Any ideas or suggestions

Unlike industry-standard tools such as HP ALM and Jama Connect, Codebeamer lacks a dedicated Test Cycle feature, limiting structured test execution planning

On the Review Hub item details side bar, multi-choice fields currently display only the number of selected values rather than the selected values themselves. This prevents reviewers from validating the field content during a review. Please update the item details page to display the selected values for multi-choice fields.

Currently, all computed fields are recalculated during the “Copy Process Configuration” function. When there are a large number of computed field, this leads to a significant drop in performance during the process. It would be helpful if the fields were recalculated only when computation was changed.

Issue DetailsIn Codebeamer version 3.2.0.1.1, when working with complex filters in the Requirements view, the filter panel occupies a significant portion of the available screen space, reducing the area available for displaying requirements.Additionally, when the side panel is collapsed, the requirements area does not automatically expand to utilize the freed space. The screen layout remains unchanged, limiting usability and making it difficult to efficiently work with large sets of requirements.PTC has confirmed that resizing the filter panel is currently not supported in Codebeamer and that this is a product limitation.Current Solution / WorkaroundThere is currently no available workaround or configuration option in Codebeamer 3.2.0.1.1 to resize, hide, or collapse the filter panel while allowing the requirements area to dynamically expand.ProposalProvide an option to hide/show or collapse/expand the filter panel. Allow users to resize the filter panel width using a draggable splitte

The test run window should include multiple fields to edit and enter details in the execution window

Ability to export “individual test runs”(only child runs) from Codebeamer. Currently, only parent test runs can be exported.

I know how to create a review for requirements in trackers. But how can we create a review for a document in CodeBeamer? Thanks.I uploaded a PPT file to CodeBeamer. I didn’t find the way to create a review for it. 

In the UI a tracker can be locked by a user for exclusive access, but this is not possible via REST API.Use case:The items of a tracker are modified outside the UI, e.g. to generate a item skeleton. This operation must be performed atomic, i.e. it must be prevented that someone else modifies any item of the tracker while the external modifications are done.

I am using Codebeamer Release 20.11-SP5 I need a documentation about a possible upgrade path to get our current 20.11-SP5 (running on MySQL) up to the most current version. Is this 3.1? Thanks a lot, Harald

When opening a review, the "References" tab of each item should be expanded by default, without requiring any manual interaction. Like shown in the picture. See also Case Details: 18097824 

The Word export template is exporting specific information into a table  The table has a font and font size  set.  However, when the data is export certain data items (not all) have the text size changed as they are exported.  And example of this is the item «item.signed.urlKeyId»  This item is consistently changed from a size 6 to size 10 when exported.  I have attempted to set the 'Ignore HTML formatting';  I have added a style to the table and set the font style and size with this as well; I have added a paragraph with a font style and size as well;  None of these attempts seem to help.

Hi Team,Need support/clarification on the following use case:When a Test Run is created from Test Case V2, the Test Run captures and stores that specific version (V2) of the test case. In a scenario where the Test Case is later updated to V3, the Test Run still continues to reference V2 and does not automatically reflect the updated version.Could you please confirmWhether there is any way to synchronize or update the Test Case version within an existing Test Run, orIf this behavior is expected by design, what is the recommended best practice to manage this use case?Please refer support Case Details - 18068685 for more information 

Hi Team,as per the PTC codebeamer articles,Test cases can be added to or removed from a Test Run only under the following conditions only:For a Regular Test Run when the status is “Ready for Execution”For a Formal Test Run when the status is “To be Approved”However, Customer requirement is need to add or remove the test cases from test run when the Test Run is "In progress" state or "Finished" when we are restarting the test runis there any way to achieve this ?please refer case details 18065754 for more information 

Hello everyone,I would like to ask if anyone can share case studies or examples where Codebeamer has been used for AI model development in automotive software, particularly for AI models that are embedded in actual products.We are considering a configuration along the following lines:Codebeamer Experiment management tools (e.g., Weights & Biases, MLflow) Git-based repository (e.g., JFrog)To clarify, we are not referring to AI models used in development support tools, but rather to AI models that are part of the delivered automotive product itself.If you have any relevant experiences, best practices, or references, we would greatly appreciate your insights.Thank you very much in advance for your time and support.
