Welcome to the Testiny forum and thanks for your feedback!
I understand your point, especially about the numbering. The idea was to count all test cases a requirement or defect connected to.
There’s a very similar feature request here, still leaving it separate for now, just to connect these two requests:
If you reads this request and you would also like to have this feature, make sure to vote for this topic. We do consider the number of votes for feature requests in our roadmap and priority planning.
Best regards,
Alex
