The Ketryx field Requirement type has a strict list of 37 options for a type of requirement. To add custom names for requirement types, their names must be present and associated to a requirement type variable in the code below in the "Select field options" organization level advanced settings. The full list of 36 requirement type variables can be found in the code below. This code can be copied into the "Select field options" organization level advanced settings for easy editing.

As an example in the code below, the Ketryx requirement type of "Use case", which is associated to the requirement type variable "USE_CASE", can be renamed to any arbitrary name such as "Software Requirement". The Ketryx Requirement type field will display the new requirement type name associated to requirement type variable. Adding "null" will make Ketryx use the standard name of the requirement type variable (ex. "USER": null, will appear as "User" in the drop down Requirement type field list).
