Hello All,

I wanted to dynamically pass the current work Item Id to the XML data source URL in HTTP Filtered value set.

Currently, I tried with the below mentioned URL to retrieve the XML data:

https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.id}

but the id is not fetched and no values are listed in the combo box.

Is there any way to pass the WorkItem Id dynamically.

Thanks in advance

To know the ID's for internal attributes, look into the work item customization in the Web UI. The identifier for the work item number attribute (Id) is "id". To show com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.id is a defect in the Eclipse client I have reported long time ago. You won't get anything using these ID's from the Eclipse client in the attribute customization and anywhere else.

  Hi Ralph,


Thanks for your reply. I wanted to know whether I dynamically pass the current workItem ID to the Http Filtered value set XML URL 

say for eg: If the defect Id is 1000, then I should be able to pass the XML path URL as : https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/1000

like wise : If the current workItem ID is 1001 

Is there a way to dynamically do this. I have read we can pass the value and the label of the current workItem to this Http filtered value set.

However, I have not got the exact way to do so.

As you mentioned in the earlier post :
${xy.value} The value of attribute  xy  . The value is the internal representation of an attribute value, for example,  severity.literal.l5  .
I have tried this, but no luck.

Please help me with a sample example, that passes the dynamic value to the URL.

Reading the product help would be valuable.  You can only access attributes of the current work item to modify the URL. You have to conform to the format.

The XML data source URL and the row XPath expression can also support the following variables:
Table 1. Supported variables
Variable Description
${filter} The current filter
${xy.value} The value of attribute xy . The value is the internal representation of an attribute value, for example, severity.literal.l5 .
${xy.label} The label of attribute xy . The label is the display name of the attribute value, for example, Critical .

Hello Ralph,

Thanks for the reply.

I have already tried the example shared, and seen the table shared,

I have tried the following queries :

https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.id}
https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.id.value}
https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${Id.value} : Here Id is the current workItem Id.
https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes.ID}
https://localhost:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/${com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes.ID.values}.

but I couldn't hit the URL and get the values in the combo box.

Is there any sample program for the dynamic XML data source URL ?, I have found the example for Xpath. But I need for sample program for
XML data source URL.

Could you please assist me on this.

Thank you
