Issue with the edit work item when it has read only attribute
Hello All,
Can anyone please help on the below scenario?
I have created a customized attribute Demand ID for work item with read only setting.
When I am creating the work item the Demand ID is generating correctly, but when I am trying to edit the work item.
It is showing the below error.
"CRRTC0299E: The work item with the ID 2028 cannot be saved because an attempt was made to change the attributes '[Demand ID]' which are not modifiable."
I want the Demand ID attribute with read only setting, and I have to edit the work item.
Below is the script which I have written:
dojo.provide("org.example.workitems.providers.ZScript");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp");
dojo.require("dojo.date.locale");
(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes=com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;
dojo.declare("org.example.workitems.providers.ZScript", null, {
getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
var currentDate = new Date();
console.log("current Date = " +currentDate);
var year = dojo.date.locale.format(new Date(currentDate), {datePattern: "yyyy" , selector: "date"});
console.log(" Current year == "+year);
var demandID = workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.DEMAND_ID);
console.log("demandID = " +demandID);
var internalID=workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.ID);
console.log("internalID === " +internalID);
var state=workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.STATE);
console.log("Status is:"+state)
if(demandID === "null"){
console.log("Answer is CR2018- "+internalID);
return "CR"+year+"-"+internalID;
}else{
return false;
}
}
});
})();

One answer
This is a calculated value.
From a script perspective, this does not make any sense:
return "CR"+year+"-"+internalID;
}else{
return false;
}
If the attribute is for a string you would want to always return a string. Return the old value or "" and not false.
Otherwise, if you make the attribute read only that it might not be possible to write the value. You can look at making the attribute presentation read only. I have no time to test anything.

Hi Ralph,
Yes I have tried with return "" as well, but I am unable to edit the work item because the attribute Deamd ID is selected the read-only checkbox.
Thank you..
As I already said, if a read only attribute is also read only for attribute customization (which I find irritating, as I think this was not the case in the past), you can make the attribute read only in the editor presentations.
Hi,
Editor presentation is for displaying here I am facing issue with handling script.
I am unable to save the work item because of customized attribute "Demand ID" is read only.
Thank you..
