When specifying a custom attribute, you have to provide an ID e.g. my.custom.string. You basically pass the id as string in getValue()/getLabel() calls. E.g.

var val = workItem.getValue("my.custom.string")


You should look up the ID's in the Web UI (project area admin).

See
Lab 4/5 for more details.
