How do I make a child WI have a value that is inherited from a parent WI as read only?
Accepted answer
this cannot be 'configured', you would have to write a server side extension to do it.
as links cannot be manipulated with JavaScript, you will have to write a java Participant extension.

you can't USE (manipulate) the link in Javascript to find the parent is the problem
there are no builtin functions to copy data from related workitems

"It is not possible to access the relationships of a work item, especially to other work items from the links
tab. It is possible to access work item attributes of type work item. This will return the work item handle
but will currently not allow to resolve the referenced work item."

Then what is use of the feature allowing attributes from others WI types?
Sorry. Please explain where you see that.
During WI design you can add attributes from other WI types. So what is the use of this feature?
It's just a way of reusing already defined attributes, however, each work item has it's own copy of it. That is, the data is not shared between the work item types, so it's not like a global variable.
