Hello,

I'm using the following article to create workitems from Plain Java Client:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation

It all works, but I would like to set some custom attributes during workitem creation. Let's assume I have the attribute name and ID. How can I do it?

There is an api call that will give you a list of custom attributes.

List<IAttributeHandle> customAttributes = workItem.getCustomAttributes();

Then just iterate over that list and handle the ones you need.

                        for (IAttributeHandle attributeHandle : customAttributes) {
                                IAttribute attribute = (IAttribute) jazzServer
                                                .getRepository()
                                                .itemManager()
                                                .fetchCompleteItem(attributeHandle,
                                                                IItemManager.DEFAULT, jazzServer.getMonitor());
                                                                                + attribute.getIdentifier());
                                if (attribute.getIdentifier().equals("justification")) {
                                               workItem.setValue(attribute,some_value);
                                  ......
                      }
The IAttribute fetchCompleteItem call gets the attribute, then you can get the id (getIdentifier()) and set the attribute.
