Hi @Luca
in CLM version 6.0.6, it's possible to create a new link type in the project administration. (see screenshot below)
But I'm not able to use this use to configure the relationship between work items

Did you deploy the link type?

Custom Link Types, like any extensions, must be deployed in order to become available.

You must perform a server-side deploy as well as a client-side deploy.

@Jean,

unfortunately, I have never created link types this way, I have always followed the "manual recipe".
Check whether your account has the permissions to manage custom link types in the project area.
Or, maybe, did you simply not modify the work item form in order to display the link? (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.6/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_customize_work_item_editor_links.html)

In RTC 6.0.6, you can use the Link Types tab of the web UI project area editor to create custom link types between two files, but not between two work items.   So this is working as designed.  To create custom link types between work items, see Luca's answer.

Hi Geoffrey

There are two things:

1. create custom link types between two files
2. create custom link types between work items

I assume creating custom link types between two files require server plugin extension.

 The link Luca's shared in doesn't work. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.6/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_customize_work_item_editor_links.html) 

 Please clarify how  to create custom link types between work items ?

Thanks,

Guv

  1. No server plugin extensions are required to define custom file link types.   See the following page for guidance on how to use the Web UI project area editor to create custom file link types:  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.6.1/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/t_scm_create_link_types.html#task_sg2_w5l_kbb

    2. Luca's link doesn't work for me either ... Luca: assuming it works for you, can you post (or send me via email) a copy of the contents of that page?   One place to get guidance for this is:  https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/12/03/creating-custom-link-types-for-rational-team-concert/
