locked custom attribute for old work items
Hi,
In an ongoing project, I have hundreds of work items openning per day. I added a custom attribute (enumeration) to one of my custom workitems. Now, I cannot set a value to the custom attribute, in the items that are created before the addition date of custom attribute. I can set a value in the new work items, but for older work items, the new custom attribute field is always locked. Is it possible to set a value to old workitems? (Even by extending RTC?) Thank you very much. |

Hi Baris
please check this (excellent ;-)! ) post: http://phkrief.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/update-existing-the-work-item-editor-with-the-new-custom-attributes/ It should answer to your first question... For the second question, you can set a default value for the older WIs by using the "Edit Multiple Work Items" feature available since RTC 2.x?. please, check out: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/index.jsp I hope it will help |

please check this (excellent ;-)! ) post: http://phkrief.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/update-existing-the-work-item-editor-with-the-new-custom-attributes/ Thanks for sharing. This helps us, too. The tricky point is on right-click the Type icon . if you right-click on any other column, you will not be able to find it Really strange (and annoying!), isnt' it? :shock: |
