Required custom attributes
Greetings,
I have created a couple of new work item types for which I have defined custom attributes. I would like to make some of these custom attributes required fields for these work items. Is that possible?
In some cases, I don't want the custom attribute to be required when creating the work item, but I do want it to be required when resolving the work item. For example, I want to require root cause analysis information to be filled in before closing a defect. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Alex Feinberg

Hi Alex
Have a look at the Required Properties section of that document:
https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/work-items-cust/index.html
With RTC 2.0 it is also possible to configure required properties just for some workflow states (in the same place as above).

Thanks for the reply. It was very helpful.
One issue that I am having with the solution is that I can't seem to require custom attributes with enumerated types. These custom attributes are simply not displayed in the selection list of fields that I can make required.
I initially thought that this was because I had default literals set for them, but I removed the defaults and they still don't show up. Am I missing something? It certainly seems reasonable for enumerated types to be flagged as required, unless perhaps if they have default values.
