I have 2 customized attribute Promote Status and Promote Date, Promote Status have below 3 possible values:
Not applicable
Deployed
Deferred

I want to make Promote Date mandatory, that requires editor to enter a Date when the Promote Status is set to Deployed.

How can I achieve this ?

Two options:

  • An attribute customization condition and the required attribute for condition precondition/advisor
  • A custom advisor

I would suggest option 1 go here:

Thank you Ralph, I looked into the articles about option 1. This is what I found for script-based condition: condition is not associated with any particular attribute and there is no attributeId argument. I'm not seeing a way to get my desired approach here, to get the value of Promote Status and then based on the value to determine the necessarity of Promote Date.

Am I looking into the wrong direction here ? Could you please elaborate on option 1 here ? Your help would be really appreciated.

! and 2 are related. " is the more in depth description.

From https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Conditions :

Whenever the user saves a work item, all conditions will be evaluated. If a condition is met any associated attributes will be required.


I am pretty sure an attribute customization condition together with the operational behavior required attribute for condition is the simplest approach.
