Sections using a "Large HTML" type attribute on a defect' presentation not showing in the editor
In two test project areas (one hosted in RTC 3.0.1.6, another in RTC 4.0.5), I made changes to the process spec to add two attributes to the defect workitem type. These were called "Architectural Details" and "Operational Details". I gave each of these their own IDs (com.ibm.team.mms.architectural and com.ibm.team.mms.operational) and set their type to "Large HTML".
Then on the editor presentation for the defect, I added a new tab called "Implementation", gave it a new Tab ID and set its layout to "Custom Attributes Layout". On the tab, I added the following 3 sections:
1. Quick Information
Layout=Left
Section ID: Reused the com.ibm.team.workitem.section.quickinformation
2. Architectural Details
Layout: Right
Section ID: com.ibm.team.workitem.section.architectural
Presentation: Attribute Based, Attribute: Architectural Details, Type: HTML
(Accepted defaults for all other fields)
3. Operational Details
Layout: Right
Section ID: com.ibm.team.workitem.section.operational
Presentation: Attribute Based, Attribute: Operational Details, Type: HTML
(Accepted defaults for all other fields)
After saving the process spec, I only see the new tab in the defect editor. However, it only contains the "Quick Information" section. The other two sections are missing from it.

Upon searching in the forums, I stumbled upon the following article https://jazz.net/library/article/1002 in which the section on "Workitem Attributes" described the missing step. I needed to "Synchronize Attributes" from the process spec editor.

One more revelation that I just noticed. The sections show up for new defects created since these customizations were made. However they do not for defects created prior to these changes. Wondering if its possible to make older defects conform to the new process definition ?
