Workitem extension points

Hi
We have such functionality, but it is currently not extensible. Please file an enhancement request on jazz.net and describe your scenario in short.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. What would be the recommended workaround to implement that sort of functionality today?

Can you please describe what exactly you want to do. Maybe there exists already an easy way to do it. Without having a scenario it is very difficult to give advice.

Sure, looking for a recommended way to implement functionality, server-side if possible, to perform updates to a work item's parent when the item is saved. The code to manipulate the work item should be straightforward, just need some way to leverage an extension point or event to get the work item after a save and perform the processing.

Thanks

Hi
The Work Item component does not offer such an extension point and this will most likely not change in the future. The Process component however has support to participate in process enabled operations (e.g. work item save). It is possible to specify preconditions (which could cancel a save operation) or follow-up actions (which will run after the operation finished). There exists also an event mechanism for process operations which could be used for functionality as you described.
The wiki page https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/PreconditionFollowupCreation describes these possibilities.
