Your question is insufficiently detailed to be answered. It is also frowned upon to paste the question body into the question subject.

I have already answered with suggestions to look at, if you want to add actions or custom attribute presentations.

In general I think you should not try or do this at all, because it breaks the UI flows.
It is, as far as I can tell impossible to add/define a new attribute to a work item, with any public API.
If the attribute is defined for the work item type and you only want to add/set the attribute value, you can use IWorkitem.hasCustomAttribute() ,IWorkitem.addCustomAttribute(), IWorkitem.setValue().

This is possible in all APIS. Use com.ibm.team.workitem.common.IWorkItemCommon, where possible, Use
com.ibm.team.workitem.service.IWorkItemServer on the server to save the work item.
