Hello community,Is there a way to share users across multiple projects?We have several projects where trackers are connected via reference fields. However, if a user is not a member of both the source and target projects, they either cannot see the referenced items or encounter errors when editing trackers — even in the project where they do have access.Ideally, we would like to avoid manually managing the same users across multiple projects. While we understand that not all users should have access to every connected project, it would be acceptable if broader access is required for reference resolution to work properly.Is there an option or configuration that allows tracker references to function regardless of project membership? I’ve looked through the settings but haven’t found a solution.Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all,I was searching in the documentation but couldn´t find it. I´m trying to have a computed field which takes the ID of the referenced items that are linked through an association with the type "derived from". Is this possible and if yes, how? https://support.ptc.com/help/codebeamer/r3.1/en/index.html#page/codebeamer/user_guide/ug_suspectedref_funcs.html 

Hello team,Is there a way to improve the "Access Denied" message shown to users who do not have access, by providing clear contact information for support?For example, a user receives a link from a colleague, but it doesn't work. The user then struggles to find out whom to contact, especially if the colleague also doesn't know.Currently, the message only advises the user to check if they are signed in with the correct account or to contact the project administrator — but it doesn't specify who that is.Improving this message with a direct contact (e.g., key user, support team, or distribution list) could help reduce confusion and support requests.

Hello PTC community,We were performing the Codebeamer and Azure DevOps integration using the "New External Repository".After doing the configuration when we clicked on the Validation it got validated and we were able to create the new external repository.  Everything went well. But after trying to "Scm repository update synchronization" we are facing the "Error while running repository synchronization job, For: Azure-repository". We are using the Codebeamer version 2.2.0.2 but i have not found any article in the knowledge base addressing this issue.

I am working on a computed field in Codebeamer and need to fetch the item ID from the Default Working Set using a formula.I have tried a few approaches (like this.id, this.globalId, and filtering workingSets()), but they are not returning the expected result. My goal is specifically to retrieve the item ID that corresponds to the Default Working Set.Could you please share the correct formula or suggest the right way to achieve this?Thanks in advance for your support.

# Detailed Explanation of Upgrading to CodeBeamer 3.0 On April 1st, PTC released the CodeBeamer 3.0 version, and many users are eager to try it out. However, whether upgrading from an older version or performing a fresh installation of the 3.0 version, they have encountered numerous issues. Below, we will provide a detailed guide on how to upgrade from CodeBeamer 2.2.1.0 to CodeBeamer 3.0.0.1, addressing various problems during the upgrade and installation process. ## 1. The Upgrade Path for CodeBeamer The first question we need to address is whether it's possible to directly upgrade to CodeBeamer 3.0 based on the current version. According to the CodeBeamer upgrade path table, upgrading to CodeBeamer 3.0 can only be done from the CodeBeamer 2.2.1.X version. If your version is lower than 2.2.1.0, you must first upgrade to at least version 2.2.1.0 as a transitional step. Similarly, the 2.0.0.x version cannot be directly upgraded to 2.2.1.x; it must first be upgraded to version 2.1.0.x.

Good day,How to construct a trigger rule for following usecase: Requirement State CHANGES from Published to InWork?I was able to construct a rule for a State[New] = InWork case. But for me Published->InWork and OtherState->InWork are not the same. My trigger should be invoked only for "Published->InWork" case and not for cases like "OtherState->InWork". How to achive this kind of "state transition management"?Thanks

Hello! I notice that in the overhauled Review Hub UI, only usernames are shown in comments and when tagging people, rather than showing their full real name. This makes it very difficult to know who is actually commenting or finding the person you want to tag. Is it possible to somehow make this display the full name again?

I am looking to be able to develop cycle time metrics using version history and don't see any posts of people attempting to utilize this data that I know the system is capturing.  What I am looking to do it be able to pull the data from the version history of say a Risk and understand how long it was in any particular state. This would require me to evaluate, for example, the date it was created "New" and the date the status transition occurred to move to "Verified". Looking at the version history the dates are captured, but how to I get these into a report or data export so I can develop some metrics like, Average time per status, etc..

Hello Team,I am working with Code beamer version 22.2.1.0 and trying to upload an image (PNG/JPG) as an attachment to a tracker item using the REST API.I can list attachments successfully using:GET /cb/rest/v3/items/{item Id}/attachments  But when I try to upload using:POST /cb/rest/v3/items/{ item_Id}/attachmentswith multipart/form-data, I either receive 400/415 errors  or the request succeeds but no file appears under the "Attachments" tab in the UI. Example I tried in Python:```pythonwith open("test.png", "rb") as f:   files = { "attachments": ("test.png", f, "image/png") }   resp = session.post(f"{base_url}/v3/items/{item_id}/attachments", files=files)

It seems that with 2.0.0.5 version the posting of items no longer works with the REST API?We know that the future is with Swagger but it was never announced that REST calls would be disabled. Is this documented somewhere which REST calls are dismantled with which version?Specific call that does not work anymore:POST <baseURL>/cb/rest/item Response: 405: The page /cb/rest/item does not exist.

Hello PTC Community,We currently have installed a test version of your Codebeamer 2.2. Sadly, we can't access the web interface, and we cannot find the issue. It just gives back HTML 404.We can't find any clue as to why it does this. It previously worked fine.Thanks for your help in advance.
