Fetch values from parent work ticket and show it to user into multi select format and store selected value in string
Hi All,
I have work ticket which stores data of XML format into string attribute. I want to show the data from parent to child WT as multi select value and selected value should be stored in string ( XML data) and I want to show this XML data into readable format both in eclipse and web.
what are all the possible ways it can be implemented.
1. I thought of using java value provider for showing string type of xml data from parent. Recently I had used java value provider because of some issues I converted it into followup condition. but this time it needs user interaction to allow them to select any value
2. I heard that extending editor.presentation it can be done and I don't think it works with web client. So is there best solution which applies for both eclipse client and web.
3. I have read about HTTP Filtered value set providers still not clear about how it works.
4. I am trying to understand process enactment -https://jazz.net/library/article/1093 is that going to help me?
I appreciate for guidance
Thanks.
One answer
As far as I can tell, you can't use JavaScript. You can't follow the links. So the Process enactment workshop won't help.
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ContributingAttributePresentationsV2 explains custom editor presentations. You would have to create them for the Eclipse client and the Web UI.
Another possible method would be a Java based attribute customization a value set provider. You have more API there, but I don't know if the work item link API is available. So I can not say it will definitely be possible. On the other hand we have reference presentations that allow selecting links so that should be doable,
