Is it possible to limit users getting displaued in Contributor list?
I have a project area and no team area, all users are added to it.
I have a workitem attribute named "Reviewer", I have set it to be "Contributor" kind/type. Now I see all the project area members listed here. Is there a way to display only few members and hide remaining?
Please let me know.

There are four ways that I know of to control the default values displayed in the list:
- Team area
- Value Set Provider using team area
- Value Set Provider using roles
- Value Set Provider using a script
- Team is the basic mechanism. Whoever is in the team pops-up, but the plan has to be set up for that team. In the project you define a timeline and category. Then, create a team and attach it to the time line. Then, associate the timeline to the team. Then, create a plan for that team.
- VSP using team area is easy to set up and configure, but you do need to keep team membership up to date. Define a team or sub-team within the project area, add the contributors you want. Then goto process definition and define the VSP. See Attribute Customization for details.
- VSP using roles is similar. You need to keep role assignments up to date. If you have security requirements and plan to use roles to configure, or if you will be configuring behaviors, it can get tricky mixing roles for VSP, permissions, and behaviors. (It can be done, but you have to account for them in the permissions and behaviors scheme, and p&b can get quite complex.0
- VSP using a script. Use this when complex logic is needed to create the list or you have some special way to identify users problematically.
