Test Objective doesn't display category

I would like to have the Category field displayed for ALM_Test Obective items. It is already on the presentation but for some reason doesn't show when you create or edit a test objective. Also, it's not available when I search for it under visible fields. Could someone fill me in on what I'm missing?

fva's as such are very generic and you can use them for sure for a lot of use cases.

But the Category fva should rather be used for documents and nodes only.

Also, when I go to Visible Fields, Category isn't available as an option.

Hello Nolin,

the category field in Integrity is of type fva (=field value attribute), and is intended to mirror the shared category.

Both fields are important for the document model of Integrity.

As I understand, you like to reuse them for a non-document type.

From my experience I'd say that you choose rather another field, and leave the category dedicated to documents only.

The 'other field' can for sure be a pick list, which you might create as a new field.

Does this answer and help?

Volker,

I think that does. So you're saying fva's are intended to only be used with segments and nodes?

Thanks,

Nolin
