ReOpen Action counter using Attribute customization in Dojo JS
How to apply a counter on Re- Open action using attribute customization in Dojo. I want to show that how many times a work item is reopened.
I am using Script based calculated values code to count and show in variable. Please correct me if i am wrong at some stage.
dojo.provide("com.ibm.team.workitem.pi");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
dojo.declare("com.ibm.team.workitem.pi", null, {
getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
matches: function(workItem, configuration) {
var cnt = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.reopencounter);
var act= configuration.getWorkflowAction();
console.log(" action is = " +act);
if (act === "PIworkflow.action.a22" ) {
return cnt+1;
}
console.log(" action is reject by design----false");
return cnt;
}
});
})();

From https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization :

So you can not use this in your script, well, you can, but you always get null. I am not aware of a simple mechanism to detect a state change in JavaScript.
since 4.0 M1
getWorkflowAction()
returns a string that is the id of a workflow action currently selected by the user. This action will be executed when the item is saved. If the user has not selected any action this method will return
null
. Note: This method works only when used inside a Condition script, the return value will always be
null
when this is used in other customization script types.
