Default values- Attribute customization
Hello,
I use RTC 3.01 and customized some attribute so that when a new Defect is created , the decription will be pre-filled with a defined text: (In Types and Attributes section of the Process Configuration Editor, edit the Description attribute and select the default value that I have created). The issue I have here is that when saving the mesage Modifying a buil-in attribute will affect all Work Items types in this PAoccurs and can't uncheck it. As a result, when creating any type of WI i got them pre-filed with exactly the same description which is anoying. I would like to have different values for different WI, e.g. User Story, Defects, Tasks. Is there a way to do this? Thank you, Zica |

Hello, Hi Zica, I implemented this for a customer by replacing description with separate HTML attributes for each work item type need ending a default value. You can then create a new descriPtion section with the new attribute. -Neil |

Hi Zica,
I created https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=197476 because I had assumed the default would be workflow dependent and I can see that there is a need. Feel free to provide your input there. The only chance I saw was using a scripted value provider. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization I tried that, but was not able to access the type - because it is not really set yet, I assume. Last option would be a calculated value, but I can't try that out today. |
