How do you 'retire' enumeration values in RTC.
![]()
If I have an enumeration value that I would like to not show up as an option any longer, but it is still valid for all existing work items, how do I retire it.
For Example,
What if I had a custom field called Operating System
and I had the following values
Solaris 32
Solaris 64
Linux 32
Linux 64
Windows 32
Windows 64
Mac
Then we decided NOT to support Mac, so we want all existing work items with the 'Mac' value to still be valid, but not to allow anyone to choose Mac for any future work items.
Right now, I don't see an option. If you delete it, then the old will just show the literal value, but not the name.

We are using 4.0.0.1, and I can archive an enumeration value that is specified in the configuration XML.
In the eclipse UI, I can go to the Enumerations in the project configuration and set one to Archive. It is reflected in the XML source as "archived=true". In this way, they remain in the existing work items but cannot be used again. Susan |

currently the only thing we have found is to rename the enum value z_oldname - deprecated - do not use
so it goes onto the bottom of the normal list |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
