Reusing requirements artifacts
Overview
Blueprint allows you to reuse requirements artifacts that have a standard artifact type.
Reusing artifacts can help you achieve the following business goals:
- Accelerate requirements delivery by leveraging resources that already exist
- Maintain consistency and follow standards in releases and projects
When you reuse an artifact, a trace relationship is established between the new artifact and the original artifact. A reuse icon appears in the Indicators column, which you can click to open the relationship in the utility panel (Relationships tab, Reuse group).
Note: If the reuse icon is grayed out, you do not have the permissions to view the original artifact.

Note: If the Override read-only settings check box is available in the Reuse dialog, you have the ability to select the setting, which allows you to ignore any read-only configuration. As a result, you will be able to edit any of the reused artifact properties as well as any additional settings, such as relationships, attachments and document references.
