Contributor Name in Work Item

0
il tt (41●5●4) | asked Feb 14 '12, 4:42 a.m.
Hi,

I'm trying to get the contributor name in my script WorkItem. I need the contributor name to customize another field in my WI with Contributor name and other informations.

I have tried to get this information as the rest of types but it is not working:

var contributorAttribute = parameters.getString("contributorAttribute");
var name= workItem.getValue(contributorAttribute);

Can anyone help me?

Kind regards,
Elisa.

Hi Elisa,

please look at https://jazz.net/library/article/537/
and follow the links to https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization . The latter describes, roughly, what can and can not be done with scripts. My experience is that, at least with 3.0.1.1, the only information I get out of a contributor is the ID. I don't know a way to get to the name. Maybe others do.

There are other value providers and conditions that allow to solve some of the implications of this fact. The default vale provider for example allows to set an attribute to the creator of a work item.

I do not know a way to do that, otherwise I would have mentioned it. I don't think the script API currently provides that.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

I'm trying to look for an dojo library that allow me that (have access to the Contributor Class functions) but I can not find. Has anybody done that before?

Regards,
Elisa.

Hi,

Because this solution is not possible I have thought in other but I'm not sure I can do that.

Use an enumeration with all users instead of Contributor.
Problems:
- In the script when I want to have the name of the user I have an enumeration like UserName.literal.l4, I have read in the version 3.5 we could have available the function getLabel but now how could we have the label instead the literal?
- I have lose the link connection to the RTC user. Could I create that?

Thanks.
