Hello All,
I want to log a few multi-line attributes. Can I have more than one comments type attributes in RTC defect work item?
If yes, how Can I do it. There is no Comments attribute type available in the drop-down list when I add a new attribute.
If no, is there any other way to log an attribute? I could not find a way to get the attribute previous (original) value in Calculated Valuess script. My script like this:
dojo.provide("example.calculated.AnalysisLogProvider");
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp");
(function() {
dojo.declare("example.calculated.AnalysisLogProvider", null, {
getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {
var sAnalysis = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.Analysis) + "\n";
var sAnalysis_Log = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.Analysis_Log) + "\n";
var sDate = dojo.date.stamp.toISOString(Date.now(), {milliseconds:true, zulu:true}) + "\n";
return sDate + sAnalysis + sAnalysis_Log;
}
}
});
})();
workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.Analysis_Log) alway get the current value. That means it will comtains some repetition of the value entered in Analysis becuase the script continuously executed.
Thanks.
Jay

20160101: value1 | 20160203: value2 | 20160305: value3
unless the value is extremely long to start with, or the attribute is modified very frequently, the above two attribute types should serve you well.
