The general approach is:

- Get a handle to the work item client

IWorkItemClient workItemClient = 

				(IWorkItemClient) repository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

- Get a handle to the attribute in question (the attribute id is the id in the process configuration)

IAttribute myAttribute =

				workItemClient.findAttribute(projectAreaHandle, "myAttributeId", monitor);

- Resolve the attribute as an enumeration to get the literals

IEnumeration<? extends ILiteral> myEnumeration = 

				workItemClient.resolveEnumeration(myAttribute, monitor);

- Iterate over the literals to find the one you want to set

ILiteral targetLiteral = null;

for(ILiteral literal : myEnumeration.getEnumerationLiterals()) {

	if(literal.getName().equals("My Value")) {

		targetLiteral = literal;

	}

}

- Find the work item you want to update

IWorkItem workItem = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(id, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);

- Get a working copy of the work item

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager wcm = workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();

wcm.connect((IWorkItemHandle) workItem.getItemHandle(), IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);

WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy = wcm.getWorkingCopy((IWorkItemHandle) workItem.getItemHandle());

IWorkItem workItemCopy = workingCopy.getWorkItem();

- Update the working copy and save it

workItemCopy.setValue(myAttribute, targetLiteral.getIdentifier2().getStringIdentifier());

workingCopy.save(monitor);

Have you got any update on this error?

Hi Jrussell,

Thanks for your detailed update.

Could you please update me how these snippets will fit into my program?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Jose

The general approach is:

- Get a handle to the work item client

IWorkItemClient workItemClient = 

				(IWorkItemClient) repository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

- Get a handle to the attribute in question (the attribute id is the id in the process configuration)

IAttribute myAttribute =

				workItemClient.findAttribute(projectAreaHandle, "myAttributeId", monitor);

- Resolve the attribute as an enumeration to get the literals

IEnumeration<extends> myEnumeration = 

				workItemClient.resolveEnumeration(myAttribute, monitor);

- Iterate over the literals to find the one you want to set

ILiteral targetLiteral = null;

for(ILiteral literal : myEnumeration.getEnumerationLiterals()) {

	if(literal.getName().equals("My Value")) {

		targetLiteral = literal;

	}

}

- Find the work item you want to update

IWorkItem workItem = workItemClient.findWorkItemById(id, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);

- Get a working copy of the work item

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager wcm = workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();

wcm.connect((IWorkItemHandle) workItem.getItemHandle(), IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);

WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy = wcm.getWorkingCopy((IWorkItemHandle) workItem.getItemHandle());

IWorkItem workItemCopy = workingCopy.getWorkItem();

- Update the working copy and save it

workItemCopy.setValue(myAttribute, targetLiteral.getIdentifier2().getStringIdentifier());

workingCopy.save(monitor);

 The only difference for above code that will resolve the issue(Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String incompatible with com.ibm.team.workitem.common.model.Identifier) is use 'fRoleliteral.getIdentifier2()' in place of 'fRoleliteral.getIdentifier2().getStringIdentifier()'.
