Setting the description field via API during Work Item Init


Steve Cotugno (41159) | asked Oct 26 '09, 2:46 p.m.
Hello,

I'm looking for an example on how to set the description field from the RTC API during work item initialization. For my customer engagement, I need to set the Work Item description field with the appropriate URL string based on the type of work item that is created.

Can someone point me to an example?

Thanks,
Steve

There is currently no support for custom default values. But the upcoming
2.0.0.2 release will have support for your scenario.

Is this supported now. If yes, How do we set values for description field?

Hi Sam,

I need to develop a plug-in, in which I need to change Workitem attribute "Project Area" to new value.
IWorkItemClient related code is not working because client (jars)packages are not deployed in server. Actually I need to save a workitem in a different
specified ProjectArea.

Please share your suggessions / piece of code to change the project area value.



Thanks & Regards,
Radhika Bandari

Once u get the workitem, changing the fields is pretty easy.
