Difficulty creating a new user id field (Requestor/Sponsor)
Hi, I'm kind of new to customizing RTC v3, so please bear with me!
I tried to add a new field to my work item called "Requestor/Sponsor". This should be the user name of someone. They don't necessarily have to be on the team. Ideally I could select a user name if they're in the LDAP directory or type one in otherwise, but I'll take what I can get. I added a new custom attribute: Name: Requestor or Sponsor ID: requestor Type: Contributor <None> for the next 4 values Read-only is unchecked No Dependencies I copied the Details tab to unlink it and make changes. I added a new Attribute-based Presentation: Attribute: Requestor or Sponsor Kind: Contributor Lots of blanks Read Only: False Show Label: Depending on Section Context Lots of blanks But when I save this and create a new work item, I see the new field as a non-editable -1 value, like this: Requestor or Sponsor: -1 Any ideas on what I did wrong? Thanks! |

I think I answered my own question. The Eclipse editor keeps switching back to the default presentation and the Defect work item type, so half of the changes I made went into the Defect work item type and half of them went into my new work item type. When I made sure that all of the pieces were in the right places, the field showed up properly.
That's kind of annoying, by the way - why can't it stay on the Work Item Type and Editor Presentation I was editing, instead of switching back to the first one in the list every time I navigate to another node in the Configuration tree? |
