Attribute Customization: Can a Calculated Value use the contents of Checkbox Enumeration List without a save using JS?
We have a Calculated Value that reads another Checkbox Enumeration List. However, the Calculated Value will only show the correct value after the work item has been saved. Other fields do update the calculated field when they are modified without requiring a save.
In all cases, the necessary dependencies in the Types and Attributes GUI are configured.
This pertains to JavaScript Calculated Values entered into the Attribute Customization GUI.
Is there anyway for a Checkbox Enumeration List Presentation information to be available via a workItem.getValue() function in our scripts?

Yes. Here's what I did to test, let me know if this does not map to your situation the way I think it does.
- Created an enumeration called androidVersions, added several, for example, name="KitKat" id="Android 4.4". See discussion here regarding renaming ids. if that interests you.
- Created a custom field for androidVersions as an enumerated checkbox presentation.
- Created a custom string field for androidVersionNumber and made it readonly and dependent on androidVersions attribute.
- Created a script that used workItem.getValue("androidversion"); to retrieve current checked values.
- Concatenated values of the ids from the array returned in previous step. Since there may be multiple values, you get an array of objects returned and you'll need to piece it apart to assign the value.
- Returned string of concatenated values.
And the AndroidVersionNumber field updates immediately in the web ui whenever I click checkboxes in the AndroidVersion field.
Here's the script code:
dojo.provide("edu.millard.forumtest.ValueProvider");
(function() {
dojo.declare("edu.millard.forumtest.ValueProvider", null, {
getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
var selectedValues = workItem.getValue("androidversion");
var valueNames = '';
for (var i=0; i < selectedValues.length; i++) {
valueNames += selectedValues[i].id + " "
}
if (!selectedValues) return "idk";
else return valueNames;
}
});
})();
Also from the same piece linked above, there are Web UI debugging tips that may be helpful (I used the debugger to investigate the array returned by the get call).

Since I answer these sorts of questions often, I decided to create an article that should help with debugging issues like this: https://jazz.net/library/article/1360
Hi Vishnu,
I have implemented the same feature in my project area and it is working fine as excepted.
I would suggest you to use a attribute type of Large String will resolve your problem.
Find the script below:
dojo.provide("scripts.defect.targetdatabases");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
dojo.require("dojo.string");
(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes = com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
dojo.declare("scripts.defect.targetdatabases", null, {
getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
var selectedValues = workItem.getValue("TargetDatabases");
var valueNames = '';
for (var i=0; i < selectedValues.length; i++) {
valueNames += selectedValues[i].label + ","
}
if (!selectedValues){
return "";
}
else{
return valueNames.substring(0,valueNames.length-2);
}
}
});
})();

Hi All,
I tried to return a value to “Enumeration List” of “Picker Enumartaion List”, I’m getting below error?
Its working for “Enumeration” of drop down value
Error running operation 'Saving Work Item'

Script :
dojo.provide("edu.millard.forumtest.ValueProvider");
(function() {
dojo.declare("edu.millard.forumtest.ValueProvider", null, {
getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
var selectedValues = workItem.getValue("branch3");
var valueNames ="enumBranch.literal.l4";
return valueNames;
}
});
})();
