Inflectra Customer Forums: Filtering Parent/Child Requirements (Thread)It appears that when a filter is applied on the requirement screen, it will only find matching values at the lowest level (requirements that do not have children). We have a number of custom fields on our requirements and some of those fields are only filled on parent requirements, but we're unable to use the filter to locate these requirements based only on the custom field. I noticed a thread from a very long time ago that addressed what seems to be the same issue: https://www.inflectra.com/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/168.aspx Have you been able to make this sort of filtering work? Due to the large amount of data we're importing from our old tool, being able to filter on the parent requirements would be very helpful. en-US(C) Copyright 2006-2024 Inflectra Corporation.support@inflectra.com/Computers/Software/Project_Management//Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/KronoDesksupport@inflectra.comhttp://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads120/Support/Forum/spiratest/issues-questions/847.aspxthreadId=847John P Kelly (john.p.kelly@cgifederal.com)Filtering Parent/Child RequirementsIt appears that when a filter is applied on the requirement screen, it will only find matching values at the lowest level (requirements that do not have children).

It may change behavior in the future, but there are no short-term plans I'm afraid. Therefore I'd suggest, adding those custom properties to the child items.
