Can we automatically assign value to Files Against and Owner based on the state of workitem?

 Hi,
I want that when my work item goes to 'In Progress' state, the filed against and Owned By should be automatically assigned to a particular category and user.
Is that possible? I am not sure which script based attribute customization will work.

This is problematic with Javascript. If you hard code the uuid of the user and the category, you still need to detect the state change, which is not easy.

The best approach for this is a Java based server extension: See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/setting-up-rational-team-concert-for-api-development/ to get started. The referenced Extension workshop has code to get you started. The rest of the code you'd need can be found in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/ .
