Passing values from children to parent workitem
Hi, I have a field named "Health" which accepts values "Green, Yellow & Red". In my example we have an EPIC workitem and it is set as a 'Parent' to 3 userstory workitems. When any of the userstory workitem's health is changed to "Red", Is there a way we can change the Parent workitem's health field value to "Red" ? Can this be achived through "Calculated Value" field ?

I don't know how the parent work item should know that the value in the child work item changed to trigger a calculated value. In principle you could create a Java based Calculated value provider that looks at linked work items. Note: JavaScript does not work. See https://jazz.net/forum/questions/213678/accessing-child-workitem-attribute-in-dojo-acript-in-attribute-customization/213681
One valid way I am aware of is described in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/ . you could use a similar logic to set the attribute at the parent(s) to red. Comments Thanks Ralph. I would try that. Does this work only for work items linked as parent-child ? Or should this work even if work items are linked as "Related" ? Related is just a different link type to follow. On the other hand you can introduce loops with related links and would have to make sure your extension does not recurse the server into oblivion.
