Retrieving workitem attributes programmatically

Marcel Porz (6●3●2) | asked Apr 03 '09, 3:55 a.m.

Hi,

I want to retrieve the attributes of workitems programmatically. I need the string representation of each attribute. It works for summary, id, comments and status. But I don't know how to retrieve e.g. the severity attribute.

Here is my code:

...

							if &#40;jazzAttributeName

									.equalsIgnoreCase&#40;ATTRIBUTE_INTERNALSTATE&#41;&#41; &#123;



								Identifier&lt;IState&gt; internalState = resolved.getItem&#40;&#41;.getState2&#40;&#41;;

								IWorkflowInfo workflowInfo = workItemClient.findWorkflowInfo&#40;resolved.getItem&#40;&#41;, null&#41;;	

								String stateName = workflowInfo.getStateName&#40;internalState&#41;;

								

								myWorkItem.SetWorkItemAttribute&#40;

										jazzAttributeName, stateName&#41;;

								&#125;

							if &#40;jazzAttributeName

									.equalsIgnoreCase&#40;ATTRIBUTE_INTERNALSEVERITY&#41;&#41; &#123;



								Identifier&lt;ISeverity&gt; severity = resolved.getItem&#40;&#41;.getSeverity&#40;&#41;;

????????

								&#125;

Thanks and Regards
Marcel.

Hi Marcel
For enumeration attributes (e.g. severity, priority), you have to resolve the according enumeration and can then find he display name for a literal.

IAttribute attribute= workItemClient.findAttribute(projectArea, ATTRIBUTE_INTERNALSEVERITY, monitor)
IEnumeration<?> enumeration= workItemClient.resolveEnumeration(attribute, monitor);
ILiteral severityLiteral= enumeration.findEnumerationLiteral(severity);
severityLiteral.getName();....
