Display an external RPE variable as an enumeration with predefined values


Bob 3 (1482068) | asked Jan 04 '18, 12:28 a.m.

Is there a way to display (to the user in RPE Launcher) an external RPE variable that has a predefined set of enumerated values?


I imagine it might look something like this: (embedded link due to being prevented from inserting image)

If you are trying to get the "Priority" values in the dropdown, you can select "Edit Configuration Metadata..." for the variable. Set
Request URL: https://<server>:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem/priority/name
Identifier: /workitem/workItem/priority/name
Display: /workitem/workItem/priority/name



However, the priority values for each WorkItem will be shown (and hence there will be duplicates).

Another option is to create a dialog / GUI with Java. The value from the drop down can be assigned to RPE variable. Please refer the discussion at
