Create a listbox field in Work Item that references other ?
Hi,
Is there any way to create a list reference field in a Work Item in RTC that is a reference to other work item types? Similar to the functionality offered by ClearQuest with the Reference List field types. I know that you can create links between different Work Item types using the links available in the generic link tab but I would like to have these links in a specific field of type listbox. If above feature is not possible, can I at least define new links name in additional to standard "Related", "Children", "Parent".... I would like to be able to create a link with name "Applications related" (I have a work item in RTC used to represent existing customer applications). Many thanks, Ana |

Hi
There is a 'Work Item list' custom attribute type that you can use to add such an attribute to the work item (see also https://jazz.net/library/article/129). This will give you a list control similar to the one for subscribers. Regards Marcel Jazz Work Item team |

Marcel,
Many thanks, Yes you are right. With the work item / work item list custom attributes I can create these references. The problem I have is that this reference is generic for all work item types, i.e, you can not restrict the reference to just one specific work item type so the user sees all work items (defects, tasks, ERs...) and they only want to see the list of specific work items to select one of them. In the wizard that is showed when the user wants to associate a work item he could select to show just work items of one type, but the user would like to have this filter from the beginning. In ClearQuest, when you defined a reference list attribute, one of the parameters you could customize was the type of work item to be referenced. Do you know if there are plans to add this new parameter to this custom attribute (or a reference to a filter to show automatically work items that satisfy this query)? Thanks, Ana |

I have just created a new enhancement request to restrict the type of
work items that could be associated when creating a custom attribute of type "work item" or "work item list". Here is the URL: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=99841 |

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.
