How do I create a default value for a Boolean attribute?

Hi Geoff,

I'd like to suggest to post this in the Using Team Concert forum. I quickly looked into it and couldn't find a solution either in the process customization UI.

I'd like to specify a default value for a Boolean attribute. I looked at creating a Default Value Attribute Customization using Process Configuration -> Work Items -> Attribute Customization -> Default Values -> Add... on the Process Configuration tab . The problem is that there's no Boolean type in the Type drop-down on the Add Configuration dialog.

Also, is the default value for a Boolean attribute guaranteed to be false when I don't explicitly specify a default value?

I'm using RTC 3.0.

Thanks,
Geoff Alexander

Guys,

Was needing to assign a default value for a field of type booelan today could do so through the following procedure:

Steps:

1. Create a java script as below:

dojo.provide ("com.example.common.DefaultBooleanTrue");
(function () {
dojo.declare (com.example.common.DefaultBooleanTrue ", null, {
getValue: function (attribute, WorkItem configuration) {
return true;
}
__sentinel: null
});
})();

I used the article: Customizing attributes, as I am not the programmer code was not that great but it worked ;-)

2. Additions to the script in the project as described in the article: Customizing attributes

3. In the Process xml I pasted the following snippet:
<valueProviders>
<valueProvider id="DefaultBooleanTrue" name="Default Booelan True" providerId="com.ibm.team.workitem.shared.common.internal.valueProviders.ScriptAttributeValueProvider">
<script class="com.example.common.DefaultBooleanTrue"/>
</valueProvider>
</valueProviders>

4. In the configuration process: Types and Attributes, select the attribute and assign the "DefaultBooelanTrue" as a value calculated from the field.
