Please note
You may also specify Test Set issue keys; in this case, the link will be created between the requirement and the Test Set.
When you do this, you'll have a dynamic coverage of the requirement based on the Tests belonging to the Test Set. That mean that you can then add or remove Tests to/from the Test Set and they will be covering the requirement or not depending on being or not on the Test Set.
