Duplicating Capability of "Assigned To" and "Owned By" Attributes
I saw another reference to this question I am about to ask so forgive me as I am asking again because I am not sure why the capability cannot be duplicated. Here's my Use Case: I was looking to have two sections on a menu where (1) "Assigned to IT Team" and that would be associated with another attribute "Assign To" (an individual member from that IT Team) and then (2) "Assign to Mgmt Team" and that would associated with a different "Assign To" management member. I can rename the default "Filed Against" and "Owned By" for the first set and that works but I cannot create my own attributes for the second set that perform the same way. In my second set of attributes I duplicated the attribute settings from the default attributes. I could not add the "category" and "target" Dependencies to my duplicated "Assign To" (made to look like default "Owned By"). Is it even possible to create this second set of attributes to act like the default ones? |

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER The Filed_Against property has built-in semantics, such as setting the team area of the work item. You cannot have two such properties, because then the team area for the work item could be ambiguous. Similarly, the Owned_by property has built-in semantics, such as which user is assigned the workload associated with the work item. If you had two such properties, the system could not determine which user should be assigned the workload. So no, you cannot create a second set of attributes to act like the default ones, because this would break the semantics of the default ones. Rob Olsen selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Thanks for the feedback. I knew there was something built in to that attribute but wasn't sure it could be duplicated. Now I know. |
