How can I make the Add Approver section of a work item RO until ...

 Good Afternoon,


I am recently faced with a challenge where I would like to make the "Add Approver" function on the Approval tab of a work item Read Only by Condition then Required by Condition.  Both of these are operational behaviors but neither support the Add Approval as it is, well technically not an attribute.

The condition would be based on a certain value of an attribute and the state. Ideally we would want it RO unless:  Epic Type=Project, Project Type=Agile, Status=Groomed. Then make it required.

Has anyone found a way to do this?  We are running 6.0.2.

 Michael,


if this is not an attribute than there is only the option to create a work item save advisor which would prevent the save. If the presentation does not support read only by condition/type and state then there is no way to change the behavior of the attribute, it is only possible to prevent saving.
