I have an custom attribute enumerated value, "RespManEmailAdd".  This attribute contains email addresses that should be included in a custom email notification correlating to specific data entered in a work item.

I have written the following code in a server side abstract service to obtain the value from enumerated attribute, but I can only seem to get the enumeration literal ID and not the value.  I looked at several examples, many of which seem to be client side, that use an interface, "IWorkItemCommon".  When I attempt to use this sample code I get exceptions that the interface is not found.  I then updated the Required Service on the plugin.xml tab in the participant project, which resulted in even more errors.

Any suggestions on how to get the value from this enumerated attribute?
