Start date of a work item

0
Philippe Preville (36●2●8●8) | asked Aug 14 '09, 2:20 p.m.
I have set up a lot a work item and queries, I'm trying to figure out when a work item has start (it status passes from new to in progress). When I'm adding the column "start date" in the layout of a work item result, it is always empty. Is there something I'm missing ?

Thank you !

The Start Date attribute is independent of the state change "New -> In
Progress". It's meant as a hint on when to start working on that item.

To solve your problem, have a query which asks for all work items with
state "New" and display it in the Team Central view. The Team Central
query section will shows a visual clue when the query result has changed.

How is the "Start Date" set?

It's probably staring me in the face (:-), but I can't seem to find it
on any of the standard work item editor displays, or as an existing
attribute when I go into the Process Configuration page.

Cheers,
Geoff

We experimented with the start date pre 1.0 but were not happy with the solution, therefore had to drop it as we ran out of time.
Enhancement 63920 (https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/63920) tracks our effort to implement a more generic solution to the problem.
