Remove custom field from project
Hi,
I created a custom field for a work item in my RTC project and there was an error in it, and I created a new field. I deleted the custom field from the project configuration, but it still appeared in the panels to create queries. I then removed any reference to the field from the project XML by hand, but still it appears in the lists of attributes to choose to query on in the create query dialogue. How do you permanently remove a custom field? Thanks, Kieron |

I need an answer to this as well, so I am reviving this old post. :) I removed all instances of the custom field from Process Configuration/Work Items/Types & Attributes and then I did a "Synchronize Attributes" on a few of the work items, but the custom field still appears in queries and in the editor (on the custom tab). It should have disappeared from the editor for those work items and the column should either disappear entirely or at the least show "na" for those work items it has been removed from (by running Synchronize Attributes).

I can't remember the defect # but I believe this is an open issue where the field still appears on the Web Client but it is "archived" on the Eclipse Client and doesn't show as expected. |

Hi,
this is tracked here: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=59558 and here: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=173494 My best practice currently is: create attributes (and enumerations and presentations etc.) with some meaningful ID e.g. com.customer.custom.attribute.<somename> this helps in the following ways: - it is easy to identify the attribute - it is easy to create other attributes - it is easy to change the name of the attribute later e.g. to z_invalid_<oldname> So the attribute is still queryable but it is possible to get it out of the way. Maybe there are other suggestions how to do this? |
