Type and role-based and state-based work item attribute change permissions
For RTC 4.0.4 in order to restrict who can change attribute value in a certain state, do I need to go custom process adviser route or is there another approach(es) ? E.g. Defect severity can be set by anyone in the New state, but only by management roles in any other state (role based, work item type and state based rule)

You can use the "Read only attributes for Type and State" operation behavior precondition. This is a precondition of the Team_Configuration -> Operation_Behavior -> Work_Items -> Save_Work_Item operation.

Comments it doesn't have Role as one of its control attributes..

Every operation behavior has role as one of its control attributes ... you always select what role a given operation behavior should apply to.
Yep, sorry, you are correct. I forgot that the 'save workitem' thing is a grid based on role, and the OOtB selects 'Everyone' as the role.
Thank you ! This is exactly what I needed.

WRT Sam's question, the search path for which Operation Behavior is run is somewhat complicated (I always forget the details a few months after I refresh my memory :-), but it involves searching through all the relevant process areas (including iteration types and parent team/project areas), and all of your assigned roles, with the nearest process area and the first assigned roles it finds taking priority.

there is no provided Advisor that will manage access to workitem field changes by user role. So you would have to create that. Because the user (Contributor) and role cannot be accessed in Javascript, you will have to create a full Java Advisor/Precondition
its not all too hard.. you could copy the existing type/state advisor source and add Role support. (I have built an advisor like that.. copy product source, and build new)
Thank you. I suspected that much, just wanted to confirm that custom java process adviser is the only route. Thanks again
