Not able to set the value take from the local database to store in the Description field after saving the workitem. (Follow up action Participant)

Question

Hello,

I had stored the value from the local database to String attribute declared as below ;-

public String test;

And stored the value fetched from the database like this :-

test = rs.getString("test");

And then created the string which stores the value taken from the database

final String test1 = test;

And tried to set the value as shown below.

workingCopy.setHTMLDescription(XMLString.createFromPlainText(test1));

After saving the workitem it does not store the value in the description field. Is there any other method to implement this??

Hello,

My suggestion would to look into some existing examples and check how they do it. One that might be helpful is https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/

Otherwise there is not any information in your question that would hint at any possible issue.

Hello Sir,

Please check the code, which I had mentioned in the above question. The issue is I am not able to store the database value in the description field all other things works fine, but when I try to set the database value in the description it does not work at all.

What would be the problem??

I have looked at the code that was available at that time. Anyway, I am not inclined to debug your code. There is no error message or anything, so I stay with my suggestion to look into working examples and try to figure out what is going wrong, or you debug what happens.

This, the findWorkItemById(), does absolutely not make any sense by the way:

    IWorkItem workingCopy = (IWorkItem) serverWI.findWorkItemById(work.getId(), IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE,null).getWorkingCopy();
    workingCopy.getTags2().add("Hello World RTC Extension");
workingCopy.setHTMLDescription(XMLString.createFromPlainText(ftest));
serverWI.saveWorkItem3(workingCopy, null, null, this.bypass);

You already have the work item and I would again suggest to look into the example I gave, how that example gets the working copy for the current work item.

Finally, you usually get the data you need after deciding if you have to do something, so accessing the other database would be something you do last, when the information is needed.

Thank you Sir.

That is what there is no error or anything, but still It does not work, if I tried to set the database value after saving the workitem.

No reason to "sir" me. Look at the example code.

I think the way you get the workingcopy might be the issue. Again, look at the example and read the blog.

I would remove or comment out the database code for the time being and just print the date or append something to the description, just to reduce complexity until you can change the attribute.

A common issue is that

OK, Thank you once again.

Hello Ralph,

In the example provided by you, there you taken Attribute ID as hard coded. Is this Attribute ID is same as the Attribute ID which we get under :- Process Configuration -> Project Configuration ->Configuration Data ->Work Items->Types and Attributes->Attributes->Edit section where each attribute has specific id. Are these both same or different.

I explained in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/working-with-work-item-attributes/ which ways there are to access the attributes. Depending on which attribute there are more than one way to gt the attribute ID and to get attributes.

Unfortunately the one you describe in your comment - using the project area admin in the RTC Eclipse client does not provide you with a correct ID. The id's exposed for non custom (internal) attributed there are for a different purpose and don't work for getting the IAttribute. The easiest way to find the ID, if it is not available in the IWorkItem interface is to look into the Web project area administration UI.

For the description, you can use the available getters and setters.

Thank you, Ralph.

This will help me a lot!
