Using wildcards in search for tags in report?
I'm building a BIRT report to retrieve the work items that have a particular tag. It seems that when I use the tag as a parameter, I get the work items that have only that tag and no other tags. Is there a way to search with wildcards or otherwise use an IN condition so I can retrieve all of the work items that have that particular tag, regardless of their other tags?
For example, suppose I have these three work items: Item 1 tagged with "tag_alpha" Item 2 tagged with "tag_beta" Item 3 tagged with "tag_alpha" and "tag_beta" When I create a data set for work items, I set the TAGS parameter to "tag_alpha". However, this retrieves only item #1, and I would like to retrieve items 1 and 3. I have tried "*tag_alpha*" with asterisks as wild cards, but that doesn't retrieve any work items. I'm using RTC 1.0.1.1M1. Thank you, Tim McMackin |
Accepted answer
Which table are you using. My guess is this is the live table. This looks like a bug. Can you please file a work item and will fix it for the 2.0 release.

Correct, I am using the live_workitem_cnt table.
I created work item 70480 for this (but I could not assign it to the 2.0 release). As a workaround, I can set up a filter in the BIRT date source for a "match" condition based on the value of the tag. However, this means retrieving all of the work items and then filtering them by tag -- I think this would cause a serious performance hit. |
