Hi,


Can we populate some text in Description field based on the value of an enumeration? For every value of enumeration, the text has to be different.

I tried Default Value and Value Sets from https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization but I am not getting any success.
I am getting below error:
'Problems loading script com.example.ValueSetProviderDescription
[object Object]
// prepopulate-description.js'

After this, my whole script is mentioned.

RTC v6.0.2

Hi Shuchita,

You need a Script Based Calculated Value Script.

Read the Enum Attribute value by using
    workItem.getValue("attributeID")
Set the Description to be dependent on enumeration attribute.

Again you already have access to the best starting point for such customization needs in the article that you mentioned in your question... look for the script based value providers in there...

Also read Process Enactment Workshop for the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management Lab 5. It is relatively simple to create a calculated value (and not a valueSet provider.

Also Note, that default values can be calculated, but the available information when creating a work item is very small. 


Also note that calculated values and manually editing attributes is a bit of a conflict and usually you would make calculated attributes read only.

Hi Shuchita,

appears to me that there may be something wrong in the script code... would you mind sharing the script code here... you can obfuscate any important confidential information you have and share the rest...

dojo.provide("com.example.ValueSetProviderDescription");

(function() {
  dojo.declare("com.example.ValueSetProviderDescription", null, {
    getValueSet: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
      console.log("My messages");
      var descr = "Some value";
      var attr = "com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.business"; //ID of attribute Business.(Business is an enum)
      var val_bus = workItem.getValue(attr);
      var hcs-lunar = "com.ibm.team.workitem.enumeration.business.literal.l4"; //ID of value of Business,for which Desc has to be changed
      if (val_bus === hcs-lunar){
        descr = "Changed value";
        return descr; }
      return descr;
      }
});
})();

Thank you Dinesh and Ralph for your help!!

The script is working now.

Somehow, I just commented out one line and it started working. 
This is the line which I commented:
var hcs-lunar = "com.ibm.team.workitem.enumeration.business.literal.l4";

I dont understand what was the issue with this line.
Below is the working code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dojo.provide("com.example.DescriptionValue");

(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.example.DescriptionValue", null, {

        getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
       
            console.log("My messages");
var descrip = "";
var attr = "com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.business"; // ID of attribute Business. (Business is an enumeration)
var val_bus = workItem.getValue(attr);
//console.log(val_bus);
//var hcs-lunar = "com.ibm.team.workitem.enumeration.business.literal.l4"; //ID of value of Business,for which Desc has to be changed
if (val_bus === "com.ibm.team.workitem.enumeration.business.literal.l4"){
descrip = "Changed Value";
return descrip;
}
return descrip;
        }
   });
})();
