Using Different Tags for Linking Objects to Tasks

By default, the tags defined for objects that can be linked to deployment tasks are Deployment Unit and Request. If you want to link a different type of object to deployment tasks than these defaults, you must define the tag in the project and in the corresponding plugin object configuration.

1. Add a new tag in the project.
   1. Add a new tag in the project. In SBM Application Administrator, open the project in which you want to override the tag.

      For example, navigate to All projects > Base Project > Release Packages Projects > Release Packages.

   2. In the navigation pane, select Default Fields.
   3. Search for and select the Entity Tags field.
   4. In the Attributes section, add a comma and a new tag to the Default Value field. For example: ,REQUIREMENT
   5. Save changes.
2. Add the tag to the object configuration.
   1. In Release Control Administration, view the object configuration that you want to use. For example, the DA Component Versions configuration.
   2. Open the Tags tab, click Edit and create a new tag that matches the one you added in the Entity Tags field, such as REQUIREMENT. If you are changing a configuration that already has tags you no longer want, remove the old tags. For example,for the DA Component Versions configuration, delete the Deployment Unit tag from the right column and leave only the REQUIREMENT tag.
   3. Save changes.
3. Test as follows:
   1. Create a new item in the project you modified, such as a release package.
   2. Create a deployment task using the plugin configuration in which you added the new tag, such as the DA Component Version Actions configuration.
   3. Click the link icon to add a component version, and the object configuration that you modified to use the new tag should be listed, such as the DA Component Versions configuration.
   Important: Existing project items are not affected, just future items, so if you add a deployment task in an existing release package, for example, and you have only the new tag assigned to the object configuration, no configurations will be listed when you click the link icon.
