How to create a custom attribute that automatically displays a list of all Components in the workspace?

Kristina Florea (33●2●3) | asked Dec 12 '13, 5:10 a.m.

When creating a new work item (any type) I want to be able to choose a component (or more) from a components list.
That means I want to have a custom attribute - Components - that is automatically filled with all the available components in the project area/workspace.

Does RTC provide me this option? If yes, how?

P.S. I do not want an enumeration

Kristina,

please see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/using-rtc-work-item-attributes-to-display-rtc-components-and-other-item-data/ for how to do that with the ItemList attribute type.

RTC provides a limited set of attribute types. None of them match what you need. the closest is 'item list', ....

edit: Ralph has great blog on how to do this

and what does 'component' mean? Source code component?
