 I have a custom attribute of type "workItem"
Trying to set value in Java plain client like this:
//wc is working copy
IWorkItem workItemNew = wc.getWorkItem();
IAttribute backportAttirbute = RhpWorkitemUtils.getCustomAttribute("backport", workItemNew);
workItemNew.setValue(backportAttirbute, workItemOrig); //workItemOrig is existing workitem
//continue with save as usual

The code does not throw any exception, but I see no effect in the workitem.
Other custom attributes are being set well.
Looks like I am missing how to correctly modify this type.

We figured Moti's code was OK, but the presentation configuration was wrong, so it did not show anything.

Hi Moti,

you can find examples for how that API works here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/a-rtc-workitem-command-line/

You have to return an IWorkItem. Your code looks OK to me. Here is some code that works for me. 
		HashMap workItems = findWorkItemsByIDValues(
				parameter.getValue(), notFoundList, ITEM_SEPARATOR);
		Collection workItemList = workItems.values();
		if (workItemList.size() > 0) {
			return workItemList.iterator().next();
		} else {
The code then uses the setValue to set the attribute like yours does.
