Hi,

In Rational Team Concert 6.0.5, is it possible to set the value "None" to the attribute of type 'timestamp' using Attribute Customisation, which should be reflected during work item initialisation? Thank you in anticipation.

Regards,

Aishwarya Sureban

These scripts are absolutely useless, because the default for custom timestamps is null, however, they work provided:

Attribute customization is enabled
The timestamp attribute is configured correctly

dojo.provide("com.example.CalculatedNullTimestamp");
(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.example.CalculatedNullTimestamp", null, {
    getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {

        return null;            
    }
});

})();
</pre>
and

dojo.provide("com.example.DefaultNullTimestamp");
(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.example.DefaultNullTimestamp", null, {
    getDefaultValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {

        return null;
    }
});

})();

Result:

And here the result without scripts (note I made sure the script above ran)

This is the Web UI, where none is displayed slightly different - in not showing anything.

This is 6.0.6, but I have no reason to believe this would be different with 6.0.5. I have done this stuff with almost all versions and there should be no difference in the behavior, except if there is a defect or the project area process is causing some weird effect.

Consider talking to support.

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for your valuable time and support.

I have implemented the scripts as per your suggestions. But, still it is not working. I think project area process is having some effect.

See my edit for the Web UI, where the default/non value is shown as empty attribute.

Hi Ralph,

I have used the scripts as per your suggestions in RTC 6.0.5. It is working successfully in the eclipse client. It displays 'None' in the timestamp attribute. But the same feature is not reflected in the web client. Is there any way so that value 'None' can be reflected in the web client as well?

Regards,

Aishwarya Sureban

As shown in the last image in the answer in the web UI, any unassigned Timestamp shows as blank/empty field. This is as designed.

1. If you refer to the creation or modification date, you can not override the values as far as I can tell.

2. If you refer to a custom attribute of type timestamp, the default value is usually unassigned/None. Use console.log in a JavaScript Attribute Customization to print find which value is used for an unassigned timestamp

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for the response.

Yes, I have created a new attribute with type 'Timestamp', and I want to set the default value of this attribute as "None".

The default value of timestamps is always None.

The default value of timestamps is always 'None' for RTC 6.0.3 .

But there is no default value for timestamps in RTC 6.0.5 . Furthermore as I want to set 'None' for timestamps in RTC 6.0.5., I just wanted to know whether is it possible to set the value using Attribute Customisation or not.?

Yes, it is possible to set the value using attribute customization.
The behavior has not changed since 4.x
the default for timestamps is null - so a default value provider makes no sense at all
It is possible to create a default and a calculated value provider for timestamp attributes that sets no value - Java Script, return null for no value

As per your suggestions, I have implemented the script. The value 'None' is not displayed during work item initialization. Calculated Value Script that I have written is as follows;

dojo.provide("example.calculated.return_none_default");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");
dojo.require("dojo.date");
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp");

(function() {
var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;

dojo.declare("example.calculated.return_none_default", null, {

getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {

//To fetch the date attribute value.
var dateField = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(workItem.getValue("actual_end_date"));
    var dateField = null;

    return dateField;

}
});
})();

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
