Varying work item owner choices based work item state
A customer asks....."When changing work item status we need to pick a particular user as a person responsible for this item. Right now the corresponding field shows the entire list of users in the system (which may be rather huge). What we need is to narrow the list to show only those users who have the right to change this particular work item in this particular status. In the olden days of ClearQuest this was easily done, but with RTC we have no clue."
In 3.0, we have new features to specify Dependent Enumerations and Role Base User Lists, they seem to have the right type of capabilities but not completely what is needed here. Would this instead be a Script Based Value Set? How would I use the new 3.0 features to narrow the list of Owner choices based on the current work item Status? |

These users are typically the ones that have the permissions to change the work item. It would be good to understand if this default functionality isn't covering the needs yet. For custom value providers, there is currently no API to check the permissions of a user (permissions would also depend on the attributes actually modified). |
Hi,
Is there a sample of how to use dependent lists/attributes in RTC Workitem ? ( Like in CQ you can write scripts to create two dependent list/dropdowns & use stateless records). Thanks
