Thanks Chuck, logically speaking - that makes sense.   I would like to find a way to achieve this functionality without adding new customizations/configuration, so I am going to keep investigating but this solution will work if I am still unable to find anything.   Thanks

You can do it from a script, but there is no list filter capability that says "Show me only the REQ records with no child RITMs."

Right... I was kind of thinking that myself actually.   With that in mind, any ideas on what that javascript statement would look like in the filter to say 'REQ w/ no RITMs added'?

Hi Christopher,

I don't know if we're on the same page with this... in order to write a javascript statement in the filter, you need to be able to compare it against an existing field (e.g. start date < javascript:gs.daysAgo(5)) implies there is a start_date field. While I could create the javascript part for you (basically putting the above code in a function in a script include), there's nothing to compare that against. Hence the problem. You cannot do this on a list filter. Sorry for the confusion.

understood, thanks Chuck.   Yeah I was having a tough time conceptualizing this one as well, it wouldn't be possible to do something along the lines of an iterative script include which looks for REQ# != CATTSK.RITM.REQ?   In other words if the REQ# exists as a CATTSK's RITM's REQ, then do not display.
