Is this possible  with this tool? I found this article about this issue:  https://www.inflectra.com/ideas/topic/requirements-traceability.aspx  ,     but I dont have an Artifact called Design Element, and I dont think I can create new Artifacts. Do I have a wrong version of Spiratest (I am useing a demo version)? And if the traceability isnt reached through associate artifacts, how is it planned in this tool to reach the end to end traceability?

So</title><description> In this example Design Element is just the name of a requirement type, not a separate artifact.  So use the specific requirement type Design Element and link your Use Case, and System Requirement to that.
