Added Custom Attribute - Synchronized all WIs - Malfunction

0
Alfredo Sanzo (26●1●1) | asked Feb 01 '12, 7:24 p.m.
Hello!

I use RTC 3.0.1, and I've been working with Custom Attributes on Custom Workitems.
I created new enumerations, and a custom WI. I then added custom attributes to that WI and created the correspondant Editor Presentation.
After creating WIs flawlessly, I noticed I needed one more attribute (an enumeration). So I added it, and pressed "Check attributes usages in repository", it then asked if I wanted to synchronize all the WIs, and I pressed "Yes". I also added the presentation in the editor.

The problem is that I can't use that attribute. In the client it appears grayed out, both for old and new workitems. In the Web UI, the combo for both old and new WIs shows only the Default Literal of the enumeration.

What shall I do? I already tried querying all the workitems and selecting "Synchronize Attributes", but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks very much in advance.

Alfredo

Yes! It doesn't work. The strange thing is that the attribute doesn't work even on a new workitem!

I had also such a problem once. Not sur how I fixed it :-(
I think it has something to do with the default value, which was not defined

Is you Project process using the process from an other one? I had similar behaviour because such a config and because the Project process had not been created as Unconfigured

I'm really not sure about the process configuration, it was there when I got into RTC.
The default value of the enumeration was set (in fact, it didn't let me save the new enumeration till I put it). Do you mean that I need to create a new Default Value in the Attributes Customization section and link it to the attribute?

erwin, got your image.
I didn't have the "Unassigned Literal" option filled, so I filled it, and then synchronized all the WIs again, but i have the same problem.

Here is a screenshot:

Again, the same thing happens to old & new WIs.

Update:

I erased the attribute, created another one with different ID but using the same enumeration, and updated the Editor Presentation.

Still the same :S

you could also send me your process configuration source. I would be able to load it on my system, and perhaps finding the issue

Both combos that I show in the image (one grayed out and the other with just one option) are from the Client and the Web UI respectively, and they look like that when I do a "Create new WI" on both interfaces. In other words, I cannot use my custom WI because if you try to create one WI of that kind, you cannot fill the "Quarter" attribute. You can fill in every other attribute, but not that one.

My process shows like this:

I got it!!
Your ID for the Attribute "com.ibm.costsuite.enumerations.quarter" was the Problem.
On the eclispe UI i got "The selected value is not applicable" so I diged there
After changing the ID in the xml file to quarter only and select the right quarter in the editor I was able to create a new liguid with this attribute

create a new attribute or modify directly in xml. just replace this "com.ibm.costsuite.enumerations.quarter" with a single word.... like all other attributes
