Editing and deleting requirement types

Edit a requirement type to change the name, description, icon, and tag prefix and suffix. Changes are automatically applied to all requirements that use the requirement type. You can also delete a requirement type if it is not used by any requirements.

Note:  If a requirement type is still used in the project and you do not want users to use it when adding requirements or changing requirement types, inactivate it instead of deleting it. See Inactivating requirement types

1. Make sure all users are logged out of the project. You cannot edit or delete requirement types if other users are logged in.
