Reusing custom attributes on multiple work items
I want to be able to reuse 3 custom attributes on 4 different work items.
Attributes: Tower, Domain and Application Name I wan them to use the same data storage location in DB2 so that I can pull all 4 work items into queries and display the values of these 3 fields for every work item type in only 3 columns (1 for each attribute). The problem I am having now is that I have added these 3 fields individually on all 4 work items, but when I run queries I have to add 12 columns to display the results across the work items because the attributes are really 12 different attributes stored in DB2. Is this possible? |

Hi Anika
You can create the custom attributes once for a type and then reuse it for the others. In 2.0 there is configuration UI for that, in 1.0.1 not yet (you can do it in the specification source using the same id and type for the custom attributes). Regards Marcel Jazz Work Item team |
I want to be able to reuse 3 custom attributes on 4 different work Yes, you can reuse attributes. In the configuration dialog where you can add attributes to a work item type, there is an option 'Reuse Existing Attribute', which allows you to associate a single attribute with more than one work item type. -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |
