Workitem custom attributes on web UI

Annie,

How can I make workitem custom attributes show up on the WebUI? I
implemented some custom attributes following the instruction here:
https://jazz.net/jazzdocs/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_defining_custom_attributes.html
They show up on a workitem form in the TeamConcert client, but not the
WebUI.

Currently, you have to specify their location in the UI using the Editor
Presentations described in

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WorkItemCustomizableEditorDesign

The EclipseUI is showing custom attributes without a specific place in
the UI on a separate page. This functionality is not yet available in
the Web UI.

Patrick,

Thanks for your reply! I tried to specify the location of the custom attributes by using the presentation tag in the process specification file. Again, they show up on the WorkItem editor in the TeamConcert client, but not the WebUI. Am I missing something? Thanks for your help!

Are you using Beta2a? What kind of custom attributes have you defined?
Enumerations or basic types? I believe that support for e.g. Boolean
custom attributes is not available yet in the Web UI. Can you attach the
process spec that you are using? That would allow us to pinpoint the
source of the problem.

Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't follow up because I was able to use the custom attributes on in the Jazz client, but I do really want the attributes to appear in the Web UI now.

Yes, I'm using Beta 2a. I'm defining string custom attributes. (I'd actually like it to be an integer or a double, but I can live with strings.) This is how I changed the process specification:

- Define the custom attribute of an workitem as follows. Add the following XML fragments:

<customAttributes
category="com.ibm.team.workitem.workItemType">
<customAttribute
id="myAttr"
type="string"
name="My attribute"
/>
</customAttributes>

as a child of the XML node

<configuration-data
id="com.ibm.team.workitem.configuration.workItemTypes"
xmlns="http://com.ibm.team.workitem/workitemTypes">

- Specify how the attributes should appear on a workitem form as follows. Add the following XML fragments

<presentation attributeId="myAttr"
kind="com.ibm.team.workitem.kind.string"/>

as children of the XML node

<section id="com.ibm.team.workitem.section.details">

Is there any hope for me to have the custom attribute appear on the Web UI? Thanks again for your help!
