new custom field not showing in existing work items
I've added a new custom field to work items that allows the specification of a Contributor. However, it does not show up in the Eclipse client for existing work items. It DOES show up on a browser client for existing work items with the value "Not Available". As soon as it's set to a "valid" value it will show up in the Eclipse client. Is there anyway to configure the Eclipse client to display the field when it's "Not Available"?

Have you synched the WIs to make the existing ones pick up these changes?

Have you synched the WIs to make the existing ones pick up these changes? Not sure I follow (so I guess the short answer is no :) ) Where does one do that? (I'm not getting hits on any Google searches) TIA |

(I'm not getting hits on any Google searches) TIA Hi Found this in Help: To manually update existing work items with new or modified custom attributes: Run a query so that the query results contain all the work items that you want to update. (Note: Do not select any relationships to be shown in the query results. If relationships are shown, the Type icon is not displayed and you cannot complete these steps. To clear all relationships shown, in the Work Items view menu, select Relationships, click Deselect all, and then click OK.) In the Work Items view, select the work items that you want to modify. In the row of one of the selected work items, right-click the Type icon and select Synchronize attributes. regards anthony |
