How to add a custom attribute to a selected work item type
Hello everyone
I have RTC 1.0.1.1 running on Windows server 2003. Is there a way to add a custom attribute to a selected work item type only ?
Here's my situation -
Our project currently has 3 work item types - defect, enhancement & task. I want to add a new custom attribute called my_field to task only. I added the new attribute by opening my project, selecting Process Configuration, Project Configuration, Configuration Data, Work items and Types and attributes. The new attribute appears on all work items types. I don't see an option to add it to a selected work item type. Am I missing something here ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thank You

Hi
The only way to do this is to separate the Task into its own type category (by editing the xml source) . However this is risky and not recommended. Currently custom attributes are bound to type categories and not types. In the short term we enabled better configurability by giving each type an own type category (in the new scrum template), in the long term the concept of type categories will be removed.
