How can I determine if a workitem parent was set or changed?
In a Follow-up action for 'Work Item Save (server)', how can I determine if the workitem being saved just had its parent set or changed in this save operation?
I see a ISaveParameter::getNewReferences() method where I can find the 'new' parent, but there is no corresponding 'getOldReferences()'. Is there a technique I can use to get the 'old' parent? Thanks in advance, Dave |

In a Follow-up action for 'Work Item Save (server)', how can I You could try to cast to WorkItemReferences. There are methods to get the deleted and created references: WorkItemReferences references= (WorkItemReferences) saveParameter.getNewReferences(); doSomethingWith(references.getDeletedReferences()); doSomethingElseWith(references.getCreatedReferences()); -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |

Thanks for the reply. This technique worked.
However, I get 'Discouraged Access' warnings from the compiler making calls to WorkItemReferences. Can these methods be added to IWorkItemReferences? Thanks, Dave |
Thanks for the reply. This technique worked. I think that would make sense. Please see https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/72536 -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |
I needed to use this technique as well and it works for detecting created references, but doesn't appear to work for detected deleted references. Is the strategy described above supposed to work for that case? If so, I may have an implementation issue. If it's not possible, I'd appreciate a heads up so I don't waste too much time trying...
