How to display new Custom attributes on pre-existing WIs
When one creates a new Custom Attribute - with corresponding new field appearing on Custom tab - this new Custom field is not visible on all Work Items that were created *before* the new Custom Attribute/field was defined, i.e. it is visible/editable only on new Work Items submitted after the new Custom Attribute creation.
Is there a way to 'propagate' the newly created Custom Attribute/Fields to pre-existing Work Items ?

Yes: Load the work items in RTC client, select all/some, right click on the column with the ICON, choose Synchronize Attributes....
