Programatically Create work items from a work item Template


Arun Batra (14612427) | asked Apr 25 '13, 8:14 a.m.
 Hi,
I am creating an post operation participant for project initialization which will create some work items when the project is initialized.
Question 1: Which extension point do i have to extend?
Question 2: Is it possible to create work items programatically from a work item template already defined in the project?

Awaiting a reply.

Warm Regards,
Arun

Hello,

For your second question, I would say to use IWorkItemTemplateClient.

IWorkItemTemplateClient witc = (IWorkItemTemplateClient) repo.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemTemplateClient.class);
IWorkItemTemplateHandle templateHandle = witc.getTemplateHandle("Identifier", projectAreaHandle, monitor);
int[] actualIDs = witc.instantiateTemplate(templateHandle, Collections . < IAttributeVariable, Object> emptyMap(), monitor);

I now just let you find out what to put in the second attribute (didn't check) of instantiateTemplate method.
Please also not I didn't test the code I've wrote here. It might need some adjustment.

Regards,
Sylvain

Hi Arun,
1.  https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation explains how to programmatically create work items.
2.  Great question!  I did a quick search, and I didn't find any examples.  It seems like it should be possible.  Perhaps someone else will know how to do this.
