WI attribute customization: get custom attribute value

0
Russell Norlund (172●2●17●24) | asked Nov 07 '11, 7:04 a.m.
In work item customization getting the value of a built in attribute is straight forward i.e. com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes class which contains the the string constants that are used to access built-in attributes of work items such as SEVERITY, PRIORITY etc.

Is there any other class which you can use to get the values of custom attributes?

Thanks for posting. I had no time to try....


No problem! It returns a UUID rather than a String though, how do I convert it?

workitem.getCategory() did not work I'm afraid and I'm still having trouble converting the UUID I get from "workItem.getValue(WorkItemAttributes.FILED_AGAINST)". As far as I'm aware, this should not return a UUID?

Even calling 'toString()' on it returns the same value, namely, '_O7KQEvZmEeC94ecF979KKA'

Any solution to help me with my confusion here would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Henry

workitem.getCategory();

returns a HANDLE to a CATEGORY..

you need to use something like resolveAuditable() to convert that handle to the appropriate iCategory object, and then retrieve the string value via getName()

Hi Sam,

As I have said already, workitem.getCategory() does not work, in fact it does not even compile. Please see the Attribute Customization and the Javascript API here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#API_for_Javascript

I will try resolveAuditable() and getName() though, thank you.

I never found out how to do it, I don't think it's possible I'm afraid.

Hi Russell,

Above you say:
After some experimentation I got it to work by passing the custom attribute as a parameter in the process configuration source (xml) e.g.:

<valueProvider>
<script>
<parameters>

You can accesss this in the javascript e.g.:

getValue: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
var type_id = configuration.getChild("parameters").getStringDefault("typeAttribute", "");
return workItem.getValue(type_id);

I am also trying to access a custom attribute of type Integer from JavaScript to perform some calculations and return the value of a different attribute.

In the process configuration source, under the <parameters> node, how should I list my params and their values??  My custom attribute has an id of "chargeRate".

Thanks very much in advance,
Murad
