How to get CustomAttribute from Work Item?
![]()
I want to print out all of the Custom Attribute fields from a Work Item. Right now' I'm trying to do something like this:
List<IAttributeHandle> customAttributes = currentWI.getCustomAttributes();customAttributes = currentWI.getCustomAttributes(); for(int i = 0; i < customAttributes.size(); i++ ){} How can I get the Attribute? Right now I'm getting an Item. Also, I'm new at the API, so it would be nice if the explanation was "dummbed down" for me :) On the same token, it would also help if someone has knowledge of more explanatory documentation from the javadoc. |

Minghua,
please start here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/setting-up-rational-team-concert-for-api-development/ and here https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/ Your question should be answered in the second link above and in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/working-with-work-item-attributes/ as well as in other posts. You have to cast attribute values to the types expected. e.g. string, int, contributor etc. I think there are numerous examples on my blog. |
