How do you make a custom field on an RTC form auto populate?
A team wants a field called "Detected By" added to a defect form. This would be a custom field with the type "Contributor" They want this field to to auto population with the the person who logged the defect. Is this possible to have a field on the form that auto populates with the person that logged the defect? |

Hey mate,
Use work item attribute customisation and create a default value, set the type to User and select Authenticated User. Then add that as the Default Value to the custom field. It will populate with the person who created the work item

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER The only thing that escapes me is, why you want to do that. The information is already in the work item and is called 'Created By' it is queryable, displayable and accessible in all APIs.
So why would one want to duplicate the information?
Comments The only reason why you would want a custom contributor type attribute, I can think of, would be because you want to change the attribute later in some cases. E.g. someone else created the work item for you and you want to make that clear. |
