Changing default work items for new user


Kieron Brear (1461169) | asked Mar 03 '09, 9:33 a.m.
Hi,

When adding a user to a team, RTC has a default set of work items that get created. I have changed a couple of the fields in tasks to be required, and this now throws the process that creates the default work items when the users are added, meaning they don't get the invite email. I could workaround this by removing the create work items follow-up action from the 'Generate Team Invitation' operation in order to still push out the email, but a couple of these work items have useful info in them.

Question:
    How can I add the task properties to the follow-up action so that the required properties get filled out?


Thanks,
Kieron

At this time, the only fields you can configure for the invitation
workitems are the workitem type, category, summary, and description.

If there are other fields that you'd like to see supported, you'll have
to file an enhancement request.

Is this still true in 2.0.0.2? Is there any work planned for 3.0 that will allow us to require other properties (eg. "Found in") on Work Item save and still use "Create Initial Work Items" followup on "Generate Team Invite"?

Is this still true for 3.0 or 4.0? If so, can you point to the enhancement request so I can vote for it?
