How to make workitem attributes mandatory


Narayanan Potti (27037279) | asked Sep 11 '09, 11:43 a.m.
Hello Everyone

I am using RTC 1.0.1.1 installed on Windows server 2003.

We started with Simple team process for our project. For defect, enhancement and task workitem types I need to make certain attributes such as owned by, Priority, Severity, Time spent, Planned for, etc mandatory. These attributes are "built in" with RTC and I want to have developers select or input values for those attributes to deliver them.

Can someone please let me know how it can be done ? If there are published documents or articles on it pealse send me the links.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank You

How can a custom attribute I add to a given type (for example, "Reproducible" in a Defect) be made to be required? I have added it, and now see it as a settable field in the "Details" section (where I added it), but it does not show up in the list of fields I can choose from in the "Required Properties" dialog when I select "Defect" as the type.

Thanks, Gary

If the Type is Boolean I don't think you can set it as a required field since unchecked could be the valid value. What I've done is define it as an Enumeration with Yes and No options and put it in the Presentation as Radio Buttons. Then make it required.
