New 'Task' attributes not incorporated in existing Tasks

0
Patrick Dreiding (16●2●2) | asked Mar 26 '12, 1:46 p.m.
I've added a custom Task attribute which works well for new Tasks. My problem is getting all the existing tasks refreshed to include the new attribute. I can't find any 'refresh' or 'synch' capability to get the older tasks updated.
Did I miss something or do I have to re-enter in all my tasks (i hope not!).

Thanks,
- Pat

Appreciate the quick response. I read and re-read the "Fix-it" and could not find the "synchronize" option.

I created a query that only includes the ID, Summary and new Attribute.
After I run the query all the Tasks are displayed in my Work Items Tab. Easy enough to sellect them all, but I don't have (see?) an icon column. I've right-clicked on everything. Nothing shows me a "Synchronize" attribute option. I'm confused :cry:

I'm using RTC client ver 3.0.1.2. Is it the right version? Am I missing an istallation?

Thanks,

Got it resolved. Best to use the default query fields. The "Type" field is the icon column. I'm slow off the starting block but eventually get there.
