Required Properties for Saving Work Items
![]()
We're seeing odd behavior with required properties. Can you tell me if there are defects that are being addressed.
We're currently using 5.0.2. We have the Required Estimates Precondition set and are requiring Estimate and Time Spent to save a task. In the Web UI, we can set Time Remaining to update Time Spent and save the task. In Eclipse, if we update Time Remaining, we still cannot save. We have to use a query or a plan to access Time Spent and update it before we can save the task.
We then set the Required Properties precondition and made Estimate, Filed Against, Owned By, Planned For, and Time Spent required. We have a team hierarchy set up but no customization made at the team level for any of the teams. If we select certain values in the Filed Against field, the other fields are no longer required (asterisks go away and we can save without populating the required fields.) This behavior is random and changes depending on the value we select in the Filed Against field.
We are currently testing 6.0.1, and in the Web UI and in Eclipse neither of these preconditions (Required Properties and Required Estimates) are enforced no matter how we populate the fields.
Are these defects or am I missing some configuration that could cause this behavior?

It works for me. How do you configure the behavior? Did you configure it for the "Everyone" role? Also, the "Requirement Estimates" precondition appears to be deprecated already, how can you still be using it?

When I looked at the configuration, it was configured for Everyone Always. However, I had the check box selected to ignore in child areas. That explains one issue.
