Work Item Customization

Hi,

I added my own WI attribute (wi_name), type smallHtml, which will replace existing summary of work item. When I replace existing summary in editor header of work item with new WI attribute, I can write some value, but when I save that work item, in the tab of saved work item, I get the id of work item, and value <untitled>. When I back old WI attribute (summary), everything works fine (getting the WI id and summary together)!
How can I bind the new attribute (wi_name) that will show the real name of work item when I save it, like it is the case with original attribute summary?

Here is example:

Point to link Work Item Header, then click on picture!

Thanks,

milan

The summary is a built-in attribute of the work item and is used in
quite a few places to get the title for a work item. It is not possible
to configure another attribute as a stand-in for the summary.

Could you elaborate why you need your own custom attribute for the summary?

hi,

I'm looking to do the same think, or almost customize the summary per work item.

Is that possible using the summary and customize it?
