Need to remove few attributes in "create workitem copy" feature
Hi All,
I need to customize the "Create Workitem Copy" feature in IBM ELM for a Workitem.
Specifically, I want to remove certain attributes from the copied workitem list, beyond the default option of simply checking or unchecking the attributes.
Could anyone please confirm if this is possible? If yes, kindly share the approach to achieve this.
Thanks in advance!

There's no way to customise the list because it is dynamically generated by looking at the work item you are trying to copy, and different work item types will have different attributes

If I remove an attribute from the template, but in the copied work item the attribute still appears in the list, is it possible that leaving it as is will eventually update automatically?
If you update the template to remove the attributes from the work item then they should no longer appear as available attributes to copy. It's not enough to remove them from the editor presentation, you need to remove them from the work item definition itself.
This, however, will make values set in any existing records no longer available in queries or reports.
