how to create Predecessor link in Scrum Templeate


WenJia Zhang (113) | asked Jul 12 '19, 3:27 a.m.
I found in Scrum template, there is no Predecessor,but I really need it.
so I plan to use Plugin to create a new link type which called pre
in plugin, i add link extension and the plugin.xml like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="com.ibm.team.process.service.operationAdvisors">
      <operationAdvisor
            class="advi.OperationAdvisor"
            id="advi.operationAdvisor"
            name="PATAC Advisor"
            operationId="com.ibm.team.workitem.operation.workItemSave">
         <extensionService
               componentId="advi.myExtensionService"
               implementationClass="advi.MyAbstractService">
                <prerequisites>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.workitem.service.IWorkItemServer"/>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.repository.service.IRepositoryItemService"/>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.repository.service.IContentService"/>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.workitem.service.IAuditableServer"/>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.repository.common.service.IContributorService"/>
                   <requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon"/>                  
                </prerequisites>
         </extensionService>
      </operationAdvisor>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="com.ibm.team.repository.common.linkTypes">
      <linkType
            componentId="com.bim.team.linktype.component"
            constrained="true"
            id="com.ibm.team.linktype.pre"
            internal="false">
            <source>
                <endpoint
                    displayName = "Pre"
                    id = "pre_id"
                    multiplicity = "0..1">
                    <itemReferenceType
                        itemTypeName = "WorkItem"
                        packageURI = "com.ibm.team.workitem"/>
                </endpoint>
            </source>
            <target>
                <endpoint
                    displayName = "Pre By"
                    id = "pre_by_id"
                    multiplicity = "0..n">
                    <itemReferenceType
                        itemTypeName = "WorkItem"
                        packageURI = "com.ibm.team.workitem"/>
                </endpoint>
            </target>
      </linkType>
   </extension>
</plugin>
and then I restart the server
I can not found the new link type in Quick info presentation.
I think maybe my deployment is wrong .
so anyone knows how to do it?
thx

You could try to use the depends on link type. 



If the link type does not show up it is a deployment issue. 
1. Use Jetty to debug

The reason it's not in the template is because it's not an Agile concept.

In Scrum, if you need something done before something else then you put it higher in the backlog.
