How to add custom attributes to a plan view?


Akos Gellenyi (1315) | asked Sep 07 '16, 7:27 a.m.
 We have created some custom attributes that would be crucial to be at a plan view, but I can not add them. I saw this question came up already in this forum but there was no solution provided.

Summarizing the discussion :

1.  Non-list custom attributes can be made available to Planning by adding them to Attribute Mapping :
Open Project Area in Eclipse Client > Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Planning > Plan Attributes > Attribute Mapping > Add > Select the custom attribute and click OK

2.  For List based custom attributes here is an open Enhancement :
Enumeration list support in planning attributes (304193)

 What is the plan to deploy this function? As I see it is in your backlog for more than 2 years, without real progress, and I'd be interested if there is a real chance to get this done.

Refresh the Plan page and Revisit the Display Columns, the custom attribute added in step 1 should now be available

hope this helps

 Sorry, I'm just a dummy user. How do I open the project area in eclipse? :)

 I've managed to open with jazz RTC desktop client (I guess that is the same eclipse client), but I can't see the custom attribute at "Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Planning > Plan Attributes > Attribute Mapping > Add"
