There is no documented API available for that (that I would be aware of) and I do not see any reason why there should be one. I have been looking into this for entertainment reasons and gave up on it. I think the RTC CQ connector has some code built in to do it, but I am not sure and it is probably not public API anyway.
So, please edit the process configuration and add the attribute as everyone else does. OSLC does not provide any mechanisms to customize the process either.

Tnq Ralph this is a req we got, client required conformation so we posted here. Tnq for your Support.
com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IWorkItem.addCustomAttribute(IAttribute) can add an existing attribute, if that is the intent. Use com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.IWorkItem.hasAttribute(IAttribute) to test if the attribute is already there.
