Feature Request: user-modifiable Project Explorer view

I've got a project where the users like to see the full requirement text in the Project Explorer view and so have taken to abusing the ShortName field to hold the requirements' text and disregard the Description field.  They're doing this because the system doesn't have the option to modify the view in Project Explorer so that it can contain ShortName + RequirementId + Description.  I'm not sure if it's even possible to entertain the idea since the document.description field is a large data type, but I promised that I'd pass along the request.  It may be possible to just show the first 'x' number of chars from Description like, ShortName + ReqId + first50CharsOfDesc?

Re: Feature Request: user-modifiable Project Explorer view

You can choose to display the requirement ID in Project, Project Configuration.  We'll give some thought to making what is displayed in the tree more configurable as we realize not everyone uses both the name and description for requirements - but need to consider how long the text would be while remaining legible.  We'll definately add this to the feature requests though.
