(EWM 7.0.2) Automatically create a new source component from a work item

Is there any way that a user can click a link or button from a Work Item presentation which goes and creates a new source component from the work item view? Is there a way to do this through the REST API?

Glyn, I do not think anyone can answer this without extensive analysis. A few thoughts:


 
  1.  There is no public REST API for EWM SCM. You would have to create a service that uses the EWM SDK to create components.
  2.  It is possible to add actions in the work item Web UI. There are examples in the Jazz Community. You should be able to do the same for the EWM Eclipse UI. If there was a service, it could be called here.
  3.  EWM SCM is not designed to handle tens of thousands of components. I am concerned about your use case, that is not explained, and if this should be attempted.
