Closing a work item to another work item type...
We have three types of work items: Defects, Enhancements, and Issues. Say, for instance, we have an Issue that we want to close to an enhancement. I'm thinking we would need a state called "Closed To Enhancement". Is there a way to associate the original Issue work item to the new Enhancement work item?

Hi Donna You can use the Links tab and add the relationship that way. If you want to generate the enhancement automatically when the state is changed to "Closed to enhancement", I suspect this would require a server-side plugin in Java to do this. You should also add in the connection from the original Issue to the enhancement in the Links page again. anthony |
You could use the "extract work item from selected text" action to
create a new related work item, and get automated linkage that way. -- John Kohl Senior Software Engineer - Rational Software - IBM Software Group Lexington, Massachusetts, USA jtk@us.ibm.com <http> |
Have you tried just changing the type to something else. I'm pretty
sure that you can start with a defect and simply change it's type instead of having to duplicate it. Cheers, Jean-Michel On 8/13/2009 11:08 AM, donnamlamb wrote: We have three types of work items: Defects, Enhancements, and Issues. |
