Codebeamer

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.

In CB, the user would like the option to delete the link between Test Case & Test Sets directly from the Downstream References tab in the Test Case tracker. With the current process, removing a test case from several test sets is complicated. They would therefore like to remove the link directly from the Test Case tracker instead of going into each test set and deleting it one by one.

Issue DetailsIn Codebeamer Public View, currently users are restricted to create public views due to project activities  The option to create a subfolder is either not available. This limitation affects users who need to organize data within folders in Private View/Shared private view.Current Solution / WorkaroundCurrently, subfolders can only be created only Public View  Only project levels filters are allowed with is performed by admins. No direct option is available within Private View/Shared private View to perform this action.ProposalEnable the option to create subfolders within Public View. Ensure proper permissions are maintained while allowing this functionality. Add a visible and user-friendly option (e.g., "Create Subfolder") in the UI.BenefitsImproves usability and user experience in Private View/Shared private View. Allows better organization and management of project data. Reduces dependency on admins or switching views. Saves time and increases productivity for users.

Hello! We are trying to find a REST API which allows us to Enable/Disable a project (i.e. Lock all the trackers, prevent any changes in members, roles, etc) In Java based workflow actions, we are using:  var project = projectDao.findById(admin, project.getId());project.setDisabled(true);projectDao.update(project);

I propose CodeBeamer to add a function to set the default stream.Every time I login in CodeBeamer, it stays in initial stream. And I have to switch to other stream every day. 

I created a stream to test the feature. I can not see in the UI how to delete it. And there is no end-point in the REST API to delete a stream.

Hi there,I tried to create a link in the description of an item: where the URL is a Codebeamer item (e.g. https://test-codebeamer.mycompany.local/cb/issue/69545) then it first looks fine:… but after saving it is destroyed:(Note: from now on the link cannot be edited anymore)What is the issue?

Description:Currently, Codebeamer does not provide access to the database schema, which limits advanced data exploration and reporting capabilities. In addition, administrators have limited visibility into background jobs and report executions initiated by users.Problem Statement:No direct visibility of database structure restricts advanced querying needs. Reports page does not allow flexible querying using CBQL. Administrators lack visibility into: Who initiated a report or query Current job execution status History of executed jobs This creates challenges in monitoring system usage, troubleshooting failures, and ensuring governance.Proposed Enhancement:Introduce the following capabilities, especially for admin users: CBQL Query Execution in Reports Page Enable running CBQL queries directly from the Reports interface. Allow advanced filtering and data retrieval without DB access. Admin Job Monitoring Dashboard Provide a dashboard where admins can: View all running and completed

Hello Team, I have codebeamer 2.1.0.0 installed with lots of user's data. Further I need to upgrade to 3.0 version. I know it’s not possible to directly upgrade it to 3.0 so can anyone guide what is step by step way to upgrade.  Thanks

Hello, I am running into a height limitation for external (custom) widgets. Any widget, regardless of the amount of actual contents, seems to be boxed in an iframe of about 175 pixels height. No amount of css or other styling seems to overcome this value. First-pass investigation seems to indicate the height might be hard-coded in the Codebeamer code, not even configurable server-side. This is drastically limiting the usefulness of any widget, as most contents will be either cut off or require vertical scrolling (e.g. charts etc). Example: a wiki dashboard widget, the plot requires scrolling vertically.  The native widgets seem to be far more flexible in adjusting to their contents’ height. edit: I have followed the steps outlined in this Codebeamer 3.2 guide, and used chart.js to draw the chart. 

Hello, Issue summary: In current CB v2.2.x, CB exporting the content as it is in Markup type. But in UI is clean to see the content without any markup contents Issue Details:Create or Import an item with description as Wiki with some links or bold or italic or strikethough etc, and save it Now in UI as a user, we can see the content clearly without any markup languages. But when we export the same item in default template, i could see description exported in markup language. Current Resolution: Using groovy, we can export the description content but it is 2nd way. Suggestion: If Codebeamer exports same as viewable in UI, it will be very useful

Hello, I’m wondering is there a way to increase the limit of Excel export limit from default 10k items?I’ve found the idea topic related to that: Exporting to Excel is limited to 10,000 items | Community but the links inside are expired so I don’t know what’s the status of it. We’re using 2.1 version.

I am using Codebeamer Release 2.2.1.3 . On Tracker, there is an issue: test cases are auto-traced to system requirements, but we don’t want automatic tracing when the verification method is design review.Automatic tracing of test cases to system requirements shall be omitted, provided that the verification method is specified on the system requirement and the method is design review. The compute code is as below:

Hello there, We’re wondering is there any feature/workaroud to mass delete comments in items?Here’s the case: our user copied aprox. 600 items from one place to another. Everything was copied including comments, which are not applicable in the new place, so now they’re deleting comments one by one. Is there any workaround for this?

Hello,Issue summary: Long running export jobs not able to kill from UI as a System administratorIssue Details:Do export TCs with steps from project level without any filter Depends on CB memory performance, export job will be running for more than 24hrs which is not normal and this affect other user export activity as well. Next users need to wait for the export file to get downloaded as previous job is not completed.Current Resolution: We need to run query to kill the job with help of IS/IT teamSuggestion: As a system administrator, if job running for long time need an easy option in UI itself to kill the job.And it would be better to give priority for the queued job

When copying requirements in Codebeamer (for example via Copy To or Smart Copy), all comments are automatically copied to the new requirement.The improvement is like can we have any option to exclude comments while copying requirements.

When changing the item type from Informational to Requirement, the Status field remains unset. Status is not required in an informational type but is required for a requirement type.  It would be better if the item entered into the workflow at the initial state.  Is there a work around to force the item into the initial state, we couldn’t find a way.

Issue DetailsCreate or import an item with the description field set as Wiki format, including elements like: Links Bold / Italic text Strikethrough formatting After saving, the content is displayed correctly in the UI in a readable, formatted way without exposing markup syntax. However, when exporting the same item using the default export template: The description is exported in raw markup language instead of the formatted view. This creates difficulty for users who expect exported content to match what they see in the UI.Current ResolutionA workaround exists using Groovy scripting to export the formatted description content. However, this is not a standard or user-friendly solution and requires additional effort and customization.ProposalEnhance the export functionality to output content as rendered in the UI (formatted view) instead of raw markup. Provide an option in export settings to choose between: Raw markup format Rendered (UI-equivalent) format BenefitsImproved usabilit

Currently in Codebeamer, exporting data requires predefined templates with fixed field selections. Each export template is static and does not allow users to dynamically select or deselect fields at the time of export.This creates a limitation where users must create and maintain multiple templates based on varying reporting needs. For example:In some cases, users need Domain + other fields In other cases, only specific selected fields are required Different stakeholders request different combinations of fieldsAs a result, for each variation, a separate export template must be created and maintained, leading to duplication, increased maintenance effort, and reduced usability. Current Workaround / ResolutionMultiple export templates are created for different use cases Users select the closest matching template for their need Additional manual effort is required to manage and update these templates when field requirements changeChallenges with current approach:Template proliferation (too
