new custom attributes in existing workitems

Hi

I have some workitems , and I decided to add some new custom attributes to them.
For new workitems the new attributes show normally but in already created workitems i can not modify the field ( it shows in grey in the web and it does not show in the client )

Is there someway to update those fields?

The Field is an enumeration.

In the Eclipse client you need to create a query that will return all the records you want to update with this new field (ex. All unresolved work items). Then do a select all on the result set and if you right-click on either the Type or ID column you'll see a Synchronize Attributes option. Select that and it will add your new field to those records.

I don't have the eclipse client in front of me so I can't check if it's Type or ID you right click on.

Thanks :)! IT was the "Type" column where you have to clik on !
