Is there way to set Planned for using calculated value script?

Uma venkata Lekkala (52●5●19) | asked Jul 09 '15, 5:22 p.m.
I know the syntax for getting the current state but I need to know what is the syntax to set the Planned for value to a particular iteration. Do we use the iteration name, identifier or id?

Generally you can get the UUID value to set the value like the below.

 
    var type = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.TYPE); 
 
    if ((type === "defect")) { 
        return "_itagAaMNEeKaNcD4tX8gjw"; 
    } else { 
        return "_itagBKMNEeKaNcD4tX8gjw"; 
    } 


Reference: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Script_based_calculated_values 

Now you may have a question how to know the UUID value each Planned for ID?

One of ways is creating another script to populate the UUID value into an attribute.

dojo.provide("org.example.Planned_For_ID"); 
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes"); 
 
(function() { 
var WorkItemAttributes= 
com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes; 
 
dojo.declare("org.example.Planned_For_ID", null, { 
 
    getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) { 
        return workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.PLANNED_FOR); 
    } 
}); 
})();

You mean declare planner_for var and then set it? Does this format work?

........  var Plannedfor =  workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.PLANNED_FOR);      

......... if (workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE) === "s1")
                {    Plannedfor ="this_time_line";    }
                else                   
                return Plannedfor;                
            }
        });
    })();

No, it won't in JavaScript you have to return the UUID in for IItem type attribute types.

Uma venkata Lekkala commented Jul 10 '15, 10:25 a.m.

Is't it as simple as . My need is how to set the value for Planned for field in the script 

workItem.setValue(WorkItemAttributes.PLANNED_FOR, this_time_line);

Your question has already been answered by @tnakajo pretty much.
You have to find the UUID of the Iteration - by looking at the URL in the browser and then return it. e.g.

  return "_itagAaMNEeKaNcD4tX8gjw"; 

Read https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization and

  (lab5) carefully and realize that you can't access complex items such as iterations (and other complex things like project areas) in JavaScript and thus you can't search for them by name in JavaScript.

If you want more API and search queries by name you would have to use Java.

Thanks! I really struggled to get the UUID into var without needing another attribute, but I got using another attribute as suggested and its working now

Hi, Uma, I'm happy to see you worked out. I also appreciate Ralph's help.

Yes, if you don't want to hard code the UUID and do something more fancy, see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/

The problem I see is that automating planning is likely to produce even more problematic results than if humans do it.

OK this is my code,  Can someone help me find how to update the Planned_for section (commented)

     dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");

     (function() {
         var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
         dojo.declare("ibm.custom.script.IterationByStatus", null, {

             getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
             
                             
               var state= workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE);
        console.log(typeof(state))
                    
                 if(state === "com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.state.s4")
                 {   workItem.setValue(WorkItemAttributes.PLANNED_FOR, "Recycle Bin");   }
                                   
             }
         });
     })();

I find it quite surprising when you ask questions and then don't consider to apprehend the answers. Your question has been answered already. You can not use the displayname of the iteration, you HAVE to use the UUID of the iteration.

A UUID looks similar to the first answer: "_itagAaMNEeKaNcD4tX8gjw" and you can find the UUID in links or by printing it from the attribute uisng a script. See

  (lab5)

Uma venkata Lekkala commented Jul 10 '15, 3:32 p.m.

Is there a way to set the UUID derived from the script to a var and use it in my script? I am not sure how acquire the UUID value by printing attribute using a script

See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Configuring_additional_script_pa for how to add parametrization for scripts.
