Reports of customized work items
Hi,
I created a custom-type work item, and attributes of type enum in it.
Now, I want to create reports/dashboard consolidating the attributes information from all work items of this type. However, I don't seem to be able to see these new attributes when creating a BIRT report. I can only see the out-of-the-box ones (e.g. status, etc.).
Any comments or pointers to supporting material will be appreciated.

Hi,
I installed RTC 2.0M2 and tried to use this new capability. However, I don't seem to find a way to create reports of custom work items and attributes.
If I go on the Reports perspective and try to use BIRT to create a new report template that I can add to RTC, I can only create data sets that access the out-of-the-box tables and columns, but not my custom attributes.
Am I missing anything? Is there a tutorial/example on how to use this new capability?
Thank you.

Currently there is no documentation on this. Look at the data sets named:
WC_XXX_EXT and WS_XXX_EXT
WC stands for WORKITEM_CHANGES
WS stands for WORKITEM_STATES
The new tables behave like the WORKITEM_CHANGES and the WORKITEM_STATES tables. but add columns for the custom field name (KEY) and value.
There is a new Plan Items report that you can use as an example. You can find it in your com.ibm.team.examples.reports.common bundle.

Thanks! I was able to create a report following these coordinates. The report runs correctly on the Report Design perspective, on the preview tab of the report designer.
However, after I deploy the report as a new report template in the Work Items perspective and try to run it, I get an error saying:
TypeError: 'length' is null or not an object
Has anyone seem this before?
Thanks again.
