Hello,

I am trying the work item customization in RTC and I want to Retrieve current State of workitem using (workItem.getvalue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE)) and set to other presentation called "Current State Of Task".

i.e.
current State of Task : In process 

I have a script Regarding that :

 dojo.provide("client.valueProvider.New_A"); 
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp"); 
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes"); 

(function() { 
    var WorkItemAttributes = com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes; 
    dojo.declare("client.valueProvider.New_A", null, { 
        getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) { 
            
            var state = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE); 
           if (state) {            
                switch (state) { 
                    case 'taskworkflow.state.s2':                //In Progress 
                        return "In Process" ; 
                        break;                 
                    case 'taskworkflow.state.s1':                //New 
                            return "New"; 
                        } 
                        break;                 
                }   
            } 
            return ""; 
        } 
    }); 
}) (); 

But Its not Work for me.
can anyone have any Idea regarding this ?

The problem is in your "switch" statement. It should be:

-------------
switch (state) { 
                    case 'taskworkflow.state.s2':                //In Progress 
                        return "In Process" ; 
                        break;                 
                    case 'taskworkflow.state.s1':                //New 
                            return "New"; 
                             break;  
                     }
--------------------------

yes the last break is out of place, not nested correctly.. it should be with the appropriate case..

you may want to print out to the console, after you get the state value.. then reuse the returned value for your cases.

there is a special note on value returned by getValue for states mentioned in here :
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Accessing_an_item_s_Status_attri

If the state id is of the form s### where ### is an integer value, getValue() will return a string representation of the integer value. For example by default the Verified state has the id s4 . Therefore when using getValue() the result will be the string "4" .

hence the console.log of the obtained value can ensure you have the right case statements.
