import external data on workitem attribute

When you say "an external table", do you mean a table in some other database (i.e. not in the RTC repository)? If so, you'll probably want to look at HTTP value set providers:

I need to create a custom attribute on a workitem type.
On my mind the attribute is a ComboBox and the values are the result of a SQL select on an external table (in other words I need an enumeration with dynamic values).
How can I do this?

Thanks in advance. Bye.

thanks for your response. Yes, I mean a table in some other database.
I've checked the information of your link and they're very interested.
A question. Can I use the sql language instead the XML?

Thanks in advance. Bye.

To use the pre-defined value set providers, you need to use XML.
But you can implement your own value-set provider (there is some guidance in that wiki article) which is sql based, but that of course would be more work.
