How to set value to new string attribute to existing items
Hi,
I have added a new attribute and its presentation for one work item type.
But the new attributes didn't show up in existing items.
(It will show up when I create new work items).
For enumeration based attribute, I can set the value to it, to force it show up.
(Right click on the Query Result column-> Change xxxx ).
But for string type attribute, I can't set the value. As there is not entry in the right click menu.
How can I set value to this new attribute for existing work items?
I tried "Default Value", it won't work. For existing work items, the value queried out is "n/a", not the default value.

Hi,
adding attributes does not add then to existing work items. In the Eclipse client you can use "Synchronize Attributes" to add the new attribute to existing work items.
This article https://jazz.net/library/article/503 or the second or third part describes how that works. You should also be able to find it in the help.

Great, thank you! This is wonderful "Hidden" feature. :)
