Combo / Multi Select List
How do you configure this so it works .. I have an enumeration - I have my editor presentation set to use multi-select and/or combo
This doesn't show up on any of my forms ... did I miss something ? Anybody got it to work |

Hi
For the multi-select list, you need an attribute of type smallString or mediumString on the work item. Then in the Presentations configuration, you add a presentation for that attribute and select Mulit-select list as kind. In the properties section add a property with key 'enumeration' and value the id of your enumeration. When creating a new work item, the presentation should show up where configured.

OK so created a workitem type/attribute of "combo" and set it to medium string.
Went back to make sure I had an enumeration of "skills" with associated values. In Editor presentation added the "combo" value - set it to combo/multi checkbox, then in the properties entered under the "key" Enumeration, and in the values put in skills ? is that correct .. Because when I save it and try and create that work item type, all the other fields are no longer displayed and I have just a grey overview page. Can you provide an example please (and thank you) |

This sounds correct to me. Ensure that the key is 'enumeration' all in lowercase. The gray page indicates that there happened an error. Can you please look at the error log view and post the error if it still occurs?

Thanks so much .. the casing was the problem ... thanks so much |
I have one problem with this way of presenting multi-select data.
In my editor my enumeration values are represented nicely by their text strings, but if I choose to show this value in a plan or in a query then the literal id's are shown like: enum.literal.l2, enum.literal.l10. This means, that even though I can present the multi-select data in a nice way in the editor, I cannot show this information anywhere becuase the literals won't get translated to their textual representation. Anybody have any comments on this? Thanks. |
I have the same issue. Is there a resolution?

I've asked the same question before and from what I have found, there is no resolution at this time for this, which I find to be a pretty big hole. It seems you can easily save this data, but it is not really "queryable" by anybody except people who may know the internal representations.

Work Item: 87154 covers the issue. In the past, I've worked around this by replacing the literals you see in the query with their values in the XML source. So, my customer wanted to pick from the 50 states, then the query would show the literals in query (as the poster notes above). I made the change in the XML source to replace the literals with the state abbreviations. And this worked correctly in the query. Its not something I would recommend as I hate to change the XML source, but, it can work in some situations. I have not tried this in the 3.0 or 3.0.1 releases. |

The underlying problem is that the multi select list is realized on the presentation layer and not in the repository. I'd suggest to subscribe to the work items requesting to fix this and put more weight on it.
