Why does my custom enumeration attribute show up empty?
I have created a custom work item type and a custom enumeration. I can add that custom enumeration to my new type with no problem but when I create a new work item of that type, the drop down list does not appear on that field, it just says "no items" and is read-only.
A couple other things that seem suspicious: 1) when I add the enumeration to the custom type, it does not appear in the "reuse existing attribute" section. However, if I create a new attribute, it does allow me to choose the type of the attribute to be the new enumeration I had created. 2) when I use the "check usages of this enumeration in the repository" option, it tells me the enumeration is NOT in use. However, on the custom type itself when I "check attribute usages in the repository" it says "work items in the repository contain all the configured attributes".
I've read the "customizing work items" section and it seems I did everything by the process. Any other ideas what the problem might be?

Accepted answer
received the PA source.
Using RTC 4.0.5, I created a SCRUM PA,
copied / pasted the source to this PA - saved
Created a new work item both in Eclipse and WebUI - enum values show up OK
Waiting for additional data from Andy.

Great, thanks Eric! At least it seems I'm not doing something wrong. Since I'm using 4.0.3 and the enum values are not showing up, can you think of any other configuration that may be at fault, or is this a defect in 4.0.3?
Hello Andy,
works fine also on 4.0.3.
Possibly:
- try with a new PA
- debug the WebUI using firefox and firebug
- or open PMR - https://jazz.net/help/support/
Let me know.
Thanks
I added a couple of new presentations to the editor and once I did that it started working for me as well. I'm not going to try to track this one down!
Thanks for your help, Eric!
