Automatically subscribe to work items that are a "Filed Against: " a particular area

Adam Clark (1●1●1) | asked Oct 08 '14, 10:21 a.m.

I'd like to be able to subscribe to any work items that are filed against a particular team when they're created. I found the following guide online but it only describes the procedure to subscribe to all work items in a particular project:

Is what I'm after possible in RTC?

In step 6 you see that you have also "Calculated Values" available. By scripting you might add a dedicated user or current user based on a certain category.

But I suppose, that does not provide the flexibility you are looking for.

Any idea on where I can find information on the scripting API that RTC uses?

I need to correct myself, you can actually access the subscriptions in scripts. You would have to pass the UUID's for the contributors.

A Java extension see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/ is another approach you could take.

Please be aware that a calculated value would always calculate and a default value provider is pretty useless, because the filed against value is not set when it runs. Therefore a custom participant would probably be the best option. Follow https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/a-create-approval-work-item-save-participant/ for an example. This is for approvals, but subscriptions are similar. There is a description of the subscription API on that blog as well.

With calculated fields I refer to client side scripting (JavaScript, dojo framework). These are my starting points
