I'd like to be more concise on the requirement types, I could create new Custom Properties to specify Theme, Epic, User Story and label them as Classification for example.

Hi Willy,&#xD;

    Sorry, yes, the scope of 5.0 changed. SpiraTeam does not have the ability to customize requirement types yet. That feature is still planned, but I don't know for which version.

I see the need to customise requirement types as key functionality for a test management system, and although we have a workaround in place - its clunky.     Any ideas, if this is on your product roadmap? if so in what version?     Thanks in advance     Neil. </description><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jun 2017 09:52:18 -0400</pubDate><a10:updated>2017-06-21T09:52:18-04:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/best-practices/1119.aspx#reply3042</link></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">messageId=3185</guid><author>Neil Findlay (neil.findlay@bjss.co.uk)</author><title> Any idea how long i need to wait to get a respond to a question on here? 6 months is pretty long in</title><description> Any idea how long i need to wait to get a respond to a question on here? 6 months is pretty long in my opinion!
