What's the best way to handle a requirement that shows up as a sub- requirement requirement in other features? For example let's say users can enter dates in various forms throughout my application. There is one set of global rules specifying the formats in which dates may be entered, and how they are interpreted. I put that in one feature. In various other features, like 'Create new patient', one can enter dates, like the patient's birth date. I want to do something like 'and the date entry shall follow the normal rules' but I'm not sure how to do that in an example driven way, without copying and pasting from other features.

Does my question make sense?  Any suggestions?

Do you know that you can call steps within steps?

Is that what you're looking for?
