Calculated values code for WI attributes in RTC 3.0 M6a

I am working with the new milestone RTC 3.0 M6a and I would like to add
some custom code to a work item field attribute but all the new fields
that appear in the new release for this new functionality when I add a
WI custom attribute are not enabled (Default Value, Calculated Value,
Value Set, Validators...).

How can I enable this functionality and add some custom code to validate
or calculate a WI attribute? Is there any documentation available I can
take a look at to know how this new functionality works in last milestone?.

You have to go to the 'Attribute Customization' section in the Process
Spec Editor. There you can define new default values, dependent
attributes etc.

Hi

Apologies this is probably a daft question...

Where do you actually enter the script for a calculated value ? And even better is there an example somewhere ?

It just advises me to update the process source...

I'm using beta1

why is there no help ready for those new features???

It really takes many effort to study.

With RC1 the way to set up dependent enums is:
1. Create source enum
2. create target enum
3. In Attribute Customisation node create a new "Dependent Enumarations"
value set, setting values to be shown in the "Configuration Section
4. Add a new customAttribute for source
5. Add a new custom attribute for target, specifying the dependent value
set created in step 3 as it's "Value Set" and specifying the attribute
created in source in the Dependencies list.

Sound right?

Here is an example how to create dependent enumerations:

Let say that you have attribute Pick2 which depends on choise of attribute Pick1.
For example,

if you choose Pick1 literal.l1, on Pick2 attribute only literals l2,l4,l5 are available for choose and
if you choose Pick1 literal.l2, on Pick2 attribute only literals l3,l6 are available for choose.

You must write next source code at configuration source of specific project area:



<valueSetProvider>
<filterMap>
<value>
<literal>
<literal>
<literal>
</value>
<value>
<literal>
<literal>
</value>
</filterMap>
</valueSetProvider>

Then, you must find the <attributeDfinitions> tab, and add next:

<attributeDefinition>
<dependsOn>
<valueSetProvider>
<filterAttribute>
</valueSetProvider>
</attributeDefinition>

That should work.
