programmatically adding RELATED_ARTIFACT link doesn't work on client side
I am attempting to add a RELATED_ARTIFACT link to a set of work items using the RTC Java Client APIs. The same code (or almost the same code) works fine via a Server-side plugin.
However, when this runs, nothing is added, but no errors occur either.
It uses a WorkItemOperation, which then calls this:
private void addMyLink(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy) throws TeamRepositoryException, URISyntaxException {
String URL = "http://<my_valid_url>";
IWorkItemClient _service = myRepository.getWorkItemClient();
IWorkItemReferences references = _service.resolveWorkItemReferences((IWorkItemHandle) workingCopy.getWorkItem().getItemHandle(), null); //this is basically the only line changed, since I need the workItemHandle, which my execute() method of the WorkItemOperation gets the workingCopy only
IURIReference reference = IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceFromURI(new URI(URL), "Current Template", "ODP Format");
references.add(WorkItemEndPoints.RELATED_ARTIFACT, reference);
//the save occurs just by dropping out of this since it is a WorkItemOperation, which differs from the Server-Side action which requires a call to save the work item.
}
Does anybody know offhand why this is not working? As I mentioned, no errors and I can debug and actually get through that it is calling these, and looking at the "reference" variable looks okay also.

Can you edit the workItem via the same plugin? (e.g change the description)
I have also managed to do this via server-side. Luckily though https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticLinkCreation this link here describes how you could do that via the client. It does look like you need to call
