See https://jazz.net/library/article/782/ . Please note, I haven't found how to do that in the Eclipse client.

Read https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/learning-to-fly-getting-started-with-the-rtc-java-apis/ follow the links and do the extension workshop.

Enable yourself in debugging server extensions, because otherwise you just waste a lot of time.

The blog has other examples and the most recent server extensions also show how to create an environment that allows deploying more easily compared to the manual process shown in the Extensions Workshop.

How should I know? I created an example based on this and it works for me. I don't know if I had to change anything. The action to be performed is in the LinkedDefectEditorToolbarAction.js file.

Debug it on Jetty.

I have one more concern ..

How can I copy attributes (  Eg: Summery,Filed against ...)  from  story workitem to Defect workitem In the Above javascript ?
Can we Automatically Save the created  Workitem  (here it is Defect) using above javascript ?

Thank you in advance ...

I believe from https://jazz.net/library/article/782/ you would use the code below to get at the attributes you want. I don't have more to contribute, as I have not done this myself.


  // Calculate current Project Area and Work Item Type
      this._currentWIType = new String(this.workingCopy.getValue({ path: "attributes.workItemType.id"}));
      this._currentPArea = new String(this.workingCopy.getValue({ path: "attributes.projectArea.id"}));

Yes above code i have already used to get the value ..

But my concern is how can we set the value  to the new workitem created using above script?
