Change Task: Disable propagation of change notice description

[Chris17]

Hello Everyone,

when creating a new change notice, the system automatically inserts the default change task in the implementation plan. That's fine so far.

However, the description of the default change task is automatically filled with the description of the change notice. That doesn't make sense in our way of working.

How can I disable the propagation of the change notice description to the change task description?

Thanks in advance.

Best

Chris

The best way to take control of you Change Notices would be with Change Notice Templates.

If you turn on this feature and create a Default Change Notice Template, then you can set the Change Task wording and such.

Thanks for your reply.

I created a Change Notice Template and Change Task Template.

However, the name fields in the templates have to be filled. Any ideas how to create a template with empty "Name" field?

Best regards

Chris

If you are on WC11.0, their is a very complex way to do this, but i cannot find the details. If you are on 11.1, you can review https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS291875 for the process.

Bad luck, we are on 11.0 😉

If you remember where to get the details, please let me know...
