calculated value script to read work item subscribers - rational-team-concert
I wrote a calculated value script to read the value of subscribers and autopopulate a custom attribute (of type string).
The aim was to include the custom attribute in the query output.
======================================
dojo.provide("org.example.workitems.providers.CalculatedSubscribers");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
dojo.declare("org.example.workitems.providers.CalculatedSubscribers", null, {
getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
return workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.SUBSCRIPTIONS)
}
});
})();
======================================
This script does not work. The custom attribute comes blank
-- Is the script correct? Is it possible to "getValues" of "subscriptions" like this?
-- Am I missing upon some steps here? I already included the "subscribedby" attribute as a "dependency" in the custom attribute.
One answer
you can find the valid attribute ID's for RTC here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Accessing_built_in_attributes_of
As you will notice there is no API WorkItemAttributes.SUBSCRIPTIONS which is basically because subscriptions are not at all managed as an attribute. It is not accessible in Java Script. Similarly inaccessible are approvals, work item links, attachments and the like.
Also see https://jazz.net/library/article/1093 Lab 5 for what you can and can not do in scripts.
If you want to access the items mentioned above you need to use the JavaAPI and would probably have to create an Extension.
