work item customization: Attributes computed

Hi
I can see two possibilities:
A) Compute the value when needed: You can look at all item states of the work item and count how often it was in the desired workflow state. This means nothing is stored in the work item, but the value is computed on-the-fly
B) Use a Precondition/Follow-up action (not sure which one, you would have to be able to change the workitem from that so I think Precondition could work better) and, whenever the work item is saved with a workflow action leading to the desired workflow state, inrease the value of your count attribute on the work item.

Thx Marcel,
for that I need to develop my own precondition ? (meaning the java code tha
twill be called ?)

Hi Christophe
Yes, this means Java code contribution.

Also for A) you would need to contribute Java code for the presentation.
