Depends on what you want to do in which version. In 3.x there is a capability to do "Attribute Customization" you can create a default value for a user attribute and select authenticated user to get the logged in user. |

The scripting capabilities are still experimental - that is why you need to enable them in the advanced properties. This is what can be done: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization
I have looked into accessing users in the scripting and it does not really work as far as I know. It returns user ID's and I was not really capable of doing anything with it. I don not think that you can access the current user using the scripts. |

Thank you! |

The default vale will only be set once and essentially sets the value to the creator of the work item, not the current user.
I would suggest to add your need here https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=169823. The current user would have to be exposed in the script UI. Please read this topic completely and carefully: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization. It describes what can be done today using Java Script and how. To read the attribute please follow the above link and try to add the dependent attribute into the configuration. That however will not help you for the reason above. In addition I experienced that the script API currently returns the user ID only and I found no way to use it for anything but printing the ID. I was even not able to set a contributor using the ID I retrieved. You can also follow https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization#Providing_new_customizations_imp to implement your own attribute value provider. I have no example for it. Inthe Java API you can access the current user using
That is about all I know. |

Hello rschoon:
value content="${currentUser} I set a attribute's default value is about it.This attribute display the current user,not the creator of the work item.but I use "workItem.getValue(attributeId)" to get about attribute value,it return null. You said : In addition I experienced that the script API currently returns the user ID only and I found no way to use it for anything but printing the ID. I was even not able to set a contributor using the ID I retrieved. this mean you can return current use name ID,I currently need the current use name ID ,how can I get ID? Thank you! |
Hello If you get Id, using workitem.getvalue() method please try workitem.getLabel(). this will give you actual name instead of ID. |
