RTC4 Work Item Result Set: Unable to right-click and edit a field
When using the RTC3 eclipse client, I could, for example, run a defect query, see the results of the query, and then right-click on many of the fields, and get the "Change ..." menu item, and I could change the value. For example, we have customized several new attributes that were enums, and I could easily and quickly change the value to another enum.
I used to be able to do that with RTC3. We moved our server to RTC4, and after I upgraded my RTC client to RTC4, I could no longer perform the same edit as described above (right-click in the Work Item result set view). (If I used my old RTC3 client connected to the RTC4 server, I CAN edit the values like I described above).
This is a productivity impact. I need to query for and display lots of defects, and quickly change values, either quickly one at a time, or multiple select and change a batch of them to the same value.
Is there something I can configure to allow this to work using the RTC4 client?

Chris,
I see that some attributes can be modified. Most are the 'built-in' or if custom a simple type (integer, string, etc). Custom enumeration related attributes don't seem to offer the ability to change attribute from the work item list.
My RTC is 4.0.1

And if we're looking at your "usual" project area, at least 2 work item types (Defect/Story) have multitude of work items w/o all configured attributes. I don't know if this is a factor in the work item table behavior; just making the point.
Thanks for the ideas.... It wasn't a factor with the RTC3 client. Even for brand new defects, I'm unable to edit the customized attributes, from the Work Item Result Set view. Really need this ability. I really don't want to have to "hold on" to the RTC3 client in order to do this. Any other ideas anybody?
