Is a Default Value or Calculated Value script supported for Subscribers attribute?

Daniel Reilly (143●15●20) | asked Feb 03 '13, 3:18 p.m.
I need to automatically add contributors to the subscribers attribute.  But, it can only be for certain types of work items, under certain conditions, in certain projects.  I have similar scripts for other built in attributes, but need some information on how to handle a user list with scripting, which I can't find.  Is this supported?

 Daniel,

The Subscribers (similar to Attachments and Links) is not an attribute, as far as I can tell. It actualy is a collection of objects, at least from an API perspective. So, as far as I can tell, you can not modify the subscribers in JavaScript. You can find more information in https://jazz.net/library/article/1093, which includes references to the Wiki article about javaScript based customization. In that page, as far as I can tell, is no attribute ID for the subscribers.

You could manipulate subscribers in a Participent, similar to using the client API used in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/subscribing-to-a-work-item-using-the-java-api/. Other posts there show examples for Participants and links to the Extensions Workshop to learn how to set up your environment.

Ralph,

There is an attribute definition for subscriptions, but a regular contributor UUID result from a script causes an exception:

 <attributeDefinition id="com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.subscriptions" name="Subscribed By" type="subscriptions">
    <dependsOn id="category"/>
    <dependsOn id="target"/>
    <defaultValueProvider providerId="com.ibm.team.ims.attribute.defaultValueProvider.owner"/>
</attributeDefinition>

!MESSAGE An internal error has occurred.

com.ibm.team.repository.common.TeamRepositoryException: Internal error
    at com.ibm.team.apt.internal.ide.ui.common.structure.JavaScriptItemMovePolicy.executeCreate(JavaScriptItemMovePolicy.java:487)
    ... more

Do you know what kind of result it is looking for?  And if there is a way to supply it via scripts?

Thanks
