Hi,

Following is the scenario :-
a. I create a workitem of type 'Defect' and save it.
b. Now, I change its Type to our custom type 'CMVCDefect', and synchronize the editor view, which has custom attributes marked as hidden at creation time.
c. The custom attributes marked as "hideIfCreation=true" get visible in the custom tab.

I understand that the workitem is not being created, it is being transformed to a different type, which causes the hideIfCreation flag to be ignored.

Is there an alternative way to achieve hiding attributes (at creation time) after changing workitem-type ?

Thanks,
Atul

Hello Atul,
I tested your use case using RTC 4.0.1 and found that both Eclipse and Web UI behave as expected.
Added a simple boolean and presentation to defect type in a SCRUM PA - Hide On Creation selected

1 - create a task
2 - switch to defect type
--> custom attribute is not displayed
3 - save
--> custom attribute is displayed

Did you test with RTC 4.0.1? Can you do the above test?
What is the version you are using?

Thanks.
Eric.

Hi Eric, I use 3.0.1, and we recently started using 4.0.1. In 3.0.1, I couldn't find anything like "Hide on Workflow state". If you could give an example in terms of project-area-xml changes, that would be great. I want to achieve these changes programmatically through xml-updates. Thanks, Atul

Thanks a lot Eric for your quick response. We were able to find a solution with the help of the flag "hideIfInState".

I assume when you change the type from existing type to a new type, the existing type would have been initialized and hence already exist in some particular state, you may want to use Hide In Workflow States to set the hiding of the attribute in that corresponding state

How can I do "Hide In Workflow States" ?

Any references on its usage ?

Hide on workflow state is different. We could consider Hide on creation as a flavor of Hide on workflow state where creation is a single state (work item is new and unsaved). Use "Hide on workflow state" to hide / show attributes depending on a certain state of the type's workflow: Thanks. Eric.
