Need is SLA constraint on a project.

When I create a WorkItem, update the Estimate attribute and save, the values of startDate and DueDate are not updated. The PlannedTime presentation is used.

How can I update startDate just after saving without creating Snapshot?

Is it possible to update starDate and DueDate in js or with plugin, with the function that is used for updating startdate after snapshot creation?

Thanks.

I don't know if I understand exactly what you need to do, but if you want to change any work item attribute based on some business rule after saving, maybe you need to implement an operantion participant that is Java RTC extensions executed after some operation (like save a work item).

Here some good references about extending RTC:

Since the start date of a work item is actually not an attribute, but a presentation that gets the information from a plan (snapshot) you can't. The plan is the one who calculates and stores that data and there is not API available, that I am aware of, to extend e.g. the scheduler.

As far as I can tell, you can't.

Ralph,

in your answer in this question How can I get a work item resolution date? you basically said that you can change the value of any attribute defined on the work item configurations. I never needed to update the start date, but based on your previous answer I thought that update such attribute is possible. Am I wrong?

Because there IS actually an attribute related to the resolution date in the work item. She start date is not an attribute if I am correct. Instead it is a presentation that gathers information from a different source. This data only lives in the plan and the attribute presentations show it from there.

I have to correct myself, there is a StartDate, which you should be able to actually change. I think it is set to a value if you start working. It is a timestamp.
The are other dates like Planned start date etc, that are only available in the plans, so you are correct. Sorry, I wasn't able to look into a formal project area at that time.
