Codebeamer

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 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

Issue DescriptionCurrently, during Excel import in Codebeamer, users have limited flexibility in defining the format/type for custom text fields. Only certain fields (such as Description) provide mapping options where users can control how the content is interpreted (e.g., plain text, HTML, wiki format, etc.).However, for other custom text fields, this capability is not available. The system applies a default format without giving users the option to explicitly select or adjust it during import.This creates inconsistencies, especially when:Importing rich text content into custom fields Handling formatted text (HTML/wiki) across different fields Aligning imported content with field expectations Current Limitation / BehaviorFormat selection during import is only available for certain fields (e.g., Description) Custom text fields do not provide format mapping options Users have no control over how content is interpreted in those fields Leads to formatting issues or loss of structure after

Issue DetailsWhen exporting Test Cases (TCs) with steps at the project level without any filters, the export job can run for an excessively long duration (sometimes over 24 hours), depending on CodeBeamer (CB) memory performance. These long-running jobs block the export queue, preventing other users from initiating or completing their export requests. Subsequent users are forced to wait until the previous export job completes, which impacts overall system efficiency and user experience. Currently, even a System Administrator cannot terminate these jobs directly from the UI (Quartz Triggers page).Current ResolutionTo stop such long-running export jobs, a database query must be executed. This requires involvement from the IS/IT team, causing delays and dependency on additional support teams.ProposalIntroduce an option in the Quartz Triggers UI for System Administrators to terminate or kill long-running export jobs directly. Provide a mechanism to monitor job duration and identify unusual

Issue summary: Limited flexibility in Codebeamer export templates requiring multiple templates for different field combinations 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.

In the Traceability report, after applying filters, more than 95,000 items are available. However, the system currently allows selecting a maximum of 500 items at a time.To select more than 500 items, we would need to navigate through each page and clicking “select all” individually. With over 190 pages, this approach isn’t feasible.According to the PTC team, 500 items are the maximum limit of items allowed to be selected in this table view.Please refer below Resolution article.Resolution Article-Is it possible to view more than 500 Work Items in the Reference Linking screen in Codebeamer<https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS449187>From the user’s perspective, Filtering returns over 95,000 items, making it impractical to navigate more than 190 pages and select them individually. The user strongly requests the ability to select all filtered results at once and wishes to have this functionality. 

While adding any new item to an existing review .1. Not able to search item using item id , which is working in older version.

The "Show more" feature currently counts each item multiple times because each item has three HTML elements (icon, name, and suspected tag). It would be better to count each item as one, regardless of the number of elements it contains. 

Enable a selection menu during export so the correct .docx layout can be applied based on the tracker type.Justification: This is required to automate standardized document generation for different V-cycle phases and ensure compliance with various reporting formats.
