Hi!

I'm writing a script part by part to copy who's the owned by to another custom attribute. The goal is to show who was the first owner of the workitem.

So, I'm writing the script my issue is that I'm receiving a error message saying that my var is null and I don't understand why.

dojo.provide("com.example.1stOwned");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");

(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.example.1stOwned", null, {

    getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {

        try {
            var hold = workItem.getValue("com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.owner");

            return hold.toString();
        }
        catch(err) {
            var txt;
            txt="There was an error on this page.\n\n";
            txt+="Error description: " + err.message + "\n\n";
            txt+="Click OK to continue.\n\n";
            alert(txt);
        }

    }

    });
})();

There was an error on this page.

Error description: workItem.getValue(...) is null

Click OK to continue.
