Change the variant or space of requirement links

When creating Requirement Yogi links, by default, they link to requirements in the same space and the same variant as the page they are inserted in.

This can cause issues where links are not pointing to the correct space or variant.

When to use it

• You have business requirements in a Confluence space "BUSINESS", accessible to your customers, but create your requirements in an other space, restricted to your engineers. When creating Requirement Yogi links, they would have to manually point to the "BUSINESS" space.

• You are copying a page from a space to another.

• You are copying a page to create a new variant.

In all those cases, it would be tedious to manually edit every Requirement Yogi links to all point them to the correct space or variant. We added this transformer to help with this process.

Using the transformation to change variants or space

You can access the vertical table transformation from the first step, or the summary step. Like other transformations, you can also save a transformation and reuse it in other pages.

By default, all the requirement links in the page are transformed. Select the tables and column affected by clicking the "Only in tables" radio button.
