Applying Presentation Changes to Existing Work Items
Good Morning,
After working with a custom work item type, I realised that I needed to add a new enumeration to extend the work item's functionality.
After adding the new enumeration to the work item type and the work item's editor presentation, I noticed that only newly created work items had the new enumeration, and the existing work items remained without.
How do I apply the editor presentation change to the existing work items?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Andrew

I'm very VERY interested in the answer to this question as well. Please, anybody out there have any ideas on how I can apply customer to existing work items?
My use case, is that I need to add a description type field so that the owner of a story can add free form comments on the outlook of this story. I need existing open stories to also surface this new field.
Help please,

As far as I remember, you can do such operations. I am not on my computer which has RTC but I'll describe the steps.
If you know the date of the modification, please run a query,in the RTC Eclipse environment,which will bring the workitems that doesn't have this attribute by setting the Created Date before this particular date.
After running the query ,select all the workitems from that list. In the left part of the grid,the first column contains the icon of the workitem, right click on it and choose "synchronize attribute"."
Hope that helps
