WorkItem Customization - workitem.getValue() returns a UUID

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to write a calculated value script in javascript where I return the name of the Category attribute. But the following code returns: _O7KQEvZmEeC94ecF979KKA

How do I convert this into a human-readable string?

For reference, this is my code -

dojo.provide&#40;&quot;from_default_valueProvider&quot;&#41;;

dojo.require&#40;&quot;com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes&quot;&#41;;



&#40;function&#40;&#41; &#123;



	var WorkItemAttributes= com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes;



    dojo.declare&#40;&quot;from_default_valueProvider&quot;, null, &#123;



        getValue&#58; function&#40;attribute, workItem, configuration&#41; &#123;

			

			var teamValue = workItem.getValue&#40;WorkItemAttributes.FILED_AGAINST&#41;;



			

			return teamValue;	

        &#125;

    &#125;&#41;;

&#125;&#41;&#40;&#41;;

Thanks in advance,

Henry

Answer 2

Where do I get the reference material for:

com.ibm.team.workitem.api

Scenarios that I am trying to accomplish:
SEAT is a work item type with an enum attribute STATUS with values AVAILABLE / BOOKED. EMPLOYEE is another work item type.
EMPLOYEE Work Item has a list box named "SEAT ALLOCATION" that lists all SEAT Work Items with STATUS = AVAILABLE.
I am trying to write a calculated value js to list all work items of a particular type (say SEAT work item)

Is this possible with script based

It's all about the answers!
