ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration Request Type

The OpenText PPM request type that ALM provides for integration with
QC/ALM project defects is the ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration request type. This request type uses only the ALM - Defect Template with Quality Center Integration workflow. To prevent you from inadvertently using a workflow that is not enabled for this integration, you cannot choose a different workflow. This request type includes the QC/ALM Defect Information field group.
