Display parent work item's attribute value in a child?

Rachel Alderman (33●15●18) | asked May 28 '12, 11:48 a.m.
Is it possible to display the value of a parent work item's attribute in a child work item?

I know it is possible to query children work items that have a parent work item attribute with a specific value, but I'd like to display the parent work item's attribute in the child work item.

I have two custom work items. One the parent, has a field which indicates whether the work item was raised internally or externally and the child tasks resolve the problem in multiple streams. But I'd like to display on the child task whether the problem was discovered internally/externally as set by the parent (so it would be readonly in the child).

Thanks
Rachel

Hello,
Did you try using the calculated value script for this particular field - where you can try getting the value of the attibute's value in the parent item.

Otherwise, a custom plugin code to do this.

Thanks.

To my knowledge, scripted custom value providers won't work in this context. As far as I know there is no way to access the links to other work items, or the linked work items.

I would suggest to look into

One way to do this would be using a followup action to set the value in child work items if it changes.

It is impossible with JavaScript. You have to write a follow up action/participant as described here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/

The only other way would be a UI extension with a presentation that gets the data from the parent/child. This is quite complex and would not work with all clients either.
