Re: [rmf-dev] Handling of creation time in ReqIF

Hello Mark (and others),

I was wondering what the best way of handing the ReqIF header attribute
"creation time" should be.  This attribute exists, assuming that ReqIF
is simply a data exchange format.  This attribute would therefore
represent the time of export.

However, in ProR we use ReqIF as a data model.  Therefore, I would
assume that creation time should be treated like "last modified time"
instead: Upon saving, it should be updated.  Opinions?
I'm not a ReqIF expert but I would treat it more logically as the creation time of the header EObject in memory and then never touch it again.


Further, should this be handled by the GUI or by the core?
What about marking the attribute unchangeable and customizing the generated constructor to fill in the system time? Generally this is not recommended for expensive operations because a possibly following load operation would immediately overwrite the value. But in case of a time stamp...

I may be totally off, though ;-)
