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.

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?.

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:
