Modify existing work item after customization
Let's assume I modify the Story type work item by adding a new attribute. After adding the new attribute, I can verify my customization by creating a new Story work item, and enter a value for the new attribute I added. That's fine for new work items. My question is how do I enter a value for the new attribute for existing Story work items. When I open an existing Story work item to edit, the new attribute field is not present to enter a value. How do I enter a value for the new attribute in Story work items that existed before I added the new attribute to the Story type work item?

I prefer to go to the Process Configuration tab of the project area editor in Eclipse, select the Project_Configuration->Configuration_Data->Work_Items->Types_and_Attributes section, and then select the "Check attributes usages in Repository" button.
Comments 'Check' to me doesn't say DO anything..

One of your choices during the "check" dialog is "add it to all the ones that don't have it". I agree that the message text could be improved.
