As part of VNFRQTS-236 the VNFRQTS team would like to move to associating metadata with the requirements.

To enable these, we'd like to use the [sphinxcontrib-needs extension|hhttp://sphinxcontrib-needs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/].

Per prior conversations with Rich Bennett, I believe we've aligned on this as a workable solution.

To enable this the following updates would be needed:

1. Add it as a dependency in tox or requirements.txt

sphinxcontrib-needs>0.2.3

2. Add it to the configured extensions in conf.py

extensions = [

1. other extensions
   'sphinxcontrib.needs', # <- Add this
   ]

3. Set additional settings in conf.py. Please see the attached file for those settings. They can be added anywhere in the conf.py file.
