What's the significance of work item displayed in the RTC lo


Brian Gillan (3215330) | asked May 06 '09, 2:33 p.m.
This area shows "<No>". If change one of my work items such
that it's "In progress", the work item is no displayed in the status
area. Or, if I drop a work item there, it moves it to "In progress". Is
this just a handy reference? I was thinking any new change sets I made
might get automatically associated with that work item (similar to
setting an activity as active in ClearCase), but that appears to not be
the case. If not, this might be a nice preference setting.

My understanding is that the "current work" should be set whenever you
start working on a work item (i.e. transition its state to an "active"
state). Then if "current work" is set to some work item, any new
change set that is created should automatically be associated with that
work item.

If either of these isn't happening, please see if you can reproduce it,
and report it as a defect.

Note: This is my understanding of how it should work ... a member of the
SCM team should comment if that isn't the case.

Cheers,
Geoff
