I'm having trouble merging branches/working sets in codebeamer. Specifically, I am having trouble merging status fields with reviews attached and items I do not own. 2 questions:
1. Is there a way to merge the status and review attached with the status?
2. Is there a way to see who has a right to edit an item and there for can merge it
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, it took a long time but I finally realized what the problem was:
I had forgotten, but when a item is in a certain status, that item cannot be edited unless moved out of that particular status. This is especially true if you have a review attached to a certain status. If the items is requires a review to move from one status to another then that item cannot be edited until a review has happened and the correct number of people have accepted it or rejected it. So that means if you are trying to merge (which will make changes to the item) it will give you the same error as if you had tried to edit the item. So, when using Working sets, it is important to make sure that before creating them, the items are in a status that can be edited. If not, you will not be able to merge.
Hello,
the given item could be in a status, where the given user's role does not have edit permission on the fields, which have to be changed by the merge.
If this information is not enough, please open an incident ticket and attach all details to it.
