adding customized attribute to work item UI


Ananya Joisa (4562124) | asked Feb 14 '13, 1:46 a.m.
Hi All,

I am trying to add a custom attribute to the work item UI in my project area. I want to be able to add a drop down menu which is populated with build definitions defined for the project area. I have taken a look at the link in Jazz, related to this : https://jazz.net/library/article/565/#wysiwyg

Like there are drop down menus for iteration, resolved by etc., I am not sure how to get a drop down for build definitions (also the number of build definitions would be dynamic). Could anyone please guide?

Thanks,
Ananya

Hello Ananya,
this may not be achievable OOTB.
You may want to use in-house developed Value Set Provider - see
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization
and https://jazz.net/library/article/1003/

See also Rational Team Concert plain Java API's

Hope it helps.

Another possible solution might be to use a HTTP Filtered Value Provider. This can be done if you can get a list of the data as XML or OSLC. See https://jazz.net/library/article/1093 Lab 4 for the HTTP Filtered Value Provider. See Lab 5 at the end where Jorge added how to use it in scripts.

Jorge sows more on this in his blog: http://jorgediazblog.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/work-item-customization-httpconector-and-oauth-in-rtc-4-0-for-oslc/
