CQ conditional field hooks in RTC

0
Benjamin Chodroff (898●52●31) | asked Dec 16 '08, 2:19 p.m.
I am working on mapping a ClearQuest schema to RTC and they have extensive hook code which causes certain fields to become enabled based on other fields values. Is it possible to replicate this functionality in RTC to avoid many synchronization errrors?

For example:
In RTC, if a field "Priority" is set to "High", require a new field "Reason" to appear with a list of possible reasons (enumerations). Otherwise, not only is not required but should not show at all in RTC.

If this is not possible, what are my alternatives? Do I have to display all possible fields all the time? What if certain enumerations change based on different field values? Is their a guide I am missing to help us understand how to create this conditional field logic in RTC?

Hello benjamin.chodroff,

Hi Benjamin,

to my knowledge this is not easily possible in RTC today. When I was looking
into this, my conclusion was that without potentially creating server extensions
it is not possible to implement this in RTC at this point in time.

Maybe someone else can come up with an easy solution. Until then, my conclusion
ist that connecting RTC and CQ requires a CQ schema that is simple enough
and has a simplified workflow.
