Setting Conditions based on Filed Against
Hi
We are using RTC v5.0
I am trying to create a script that will make two custom attribute fields mandatory when the Filed Against field is set to a certain value, I am using the below script.
dojo.provide("org.example.workitems.providers.category");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
dojo.declare("org.example.workitems.providers.category", null, {
matches: function(workItem, configuration) {
var category= workItem.getValue("com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.category");
console.log(typeof(category))
return (category === "_ldJ1CuM_EeSNX9RJKvkN6w");
}
});
})();
Could anyone assist please.
Any and all suggestions are most welcome
Kind Regards
Glenn

You didn't read my answer, or followed any of the links, did you?
You need to use
var category= workItem.getValue(
WorkItemAttributes.FILED_AGAINST
);
or
var category= workItem.getValue(
"category"
);
To read the filed against attribute. As mentioned in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization complex attributes are not really supported and the returned UUID's are not exposed in the UI (well at least not where you would expect them).
You can try to use getLabel() to get the display label,
var categoryLabel= workItem.getLabel(
"category"
);
but it might not work as return value, since these kinds of attributes are not really supported. You either have to know or get the UUID or you can't do anything with them.
Consider reading the linked workshop and the API description carefully, if you want to get your JavaScript scripts working.

Hi Ralph
Our design here is that we have a Master Project Template and all "Child" projects use it's process.
This results in different UUID's created for each individual project areas "Filed Against" values, the naming values are the same in the project areas but they have different UUID's, I was of the impression that by extracting the UUID it could be used in a script?
I have used the skeleton of the above script for enabling behavior when it comes to field attributes on a work item, but the "Filed Against" attributes do not respond.
The value "category" is the Web UI displayed ID value for the "Filed Against" attribute and the "_ldJ1CuM_EeSNX9RJKvkN6w" is the UUID for the value I need to instantiate the behavior, these UUID's are not defined in the Process Configuration Source tab, I had to run cognos reports to get them.
Kind Regards
