Hi Kristis, Thanks for updating that for me.
Afraid we'll have no luck with the Test Director team. We have tried requests that are much simpler and had then pushed back. Test Director/Quality Center is a complete QA toolset which focuses mainly on the test side with Bug tracking a small (basic) component really designed and focused on Test Teams raising issues for failed tests. The big benefit for us with the ScmBug integration is we now have and end to end tracking capability from code to test and back again. The change we would have to request would be a fundamental architecture change for them and would actually prevent some of their customisable features. (Which on the flip site, as a company we benefit greatly from). I think we'll have to live with it for now.
