 In change Notice workflow in Windchill: If Team Leader poses the question, engineer is getting task saying that he has a question and engineer able to answer. But challenging part is - he should go back to task to find the question. Instead, is there a way where this question can be taken forward with task such that user can find the question in the same task and answer it?

We have created FVA field "Test Suite document short Title" and added in Testcases type and we configured the same field in query. For some test cases its showing the Test suite document short title and for some its not showing. Please find the below screenshot for reference .       Thanks and Regards, Chandan Prasad
