Liora,
I would try to avoid creating extensions if at all possible. If you have to in your case, I would suggest the following reading: Start here: https://jazz.net/library/article/784 Follow it and go here: https://jazz.net/library/article/634 (I am working on an upgrade to 4.x) For your particular case see: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ContributingAttributePresentations https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CalculatedAttributePresentation There is a lot more. Try the search at Jazz.net Liora Milbaum selected this answer as the correct answer

this is not really an 'extension'.. its more a custom attribute on a page, unless u need some logic to run too
open the Project, on the process config tab, you can expand the config down to workitem, and you can add an attribute, and then a tab in the presentation for our workitem, and then put the attribute on the page of the tab. add attribute add tab selectlayout add presentation pick section etc.. what do you need this 'extension' to do? |
Hi Liora,
Additional tabs and new presentation layouts can be created in the process config section itself. Project confign->Configuration data->Work items->Editor presentations : Add-> to add new presentation layout - this is equivalent to a new WI Type form and can be associated in the work item->Types and attributes section. Thanks. |

Hi Liora,
You can create a totally new presentation layout for a new WI (or) you can also modify existing WI Presentations to include new tabs. Check boxes that you are trying to put have to be new attributes in the WI and you can add-in the equivalent presentations in the WI presentation tabs. Please refer to my previous answer in this item for details on how to do this. Thanks. |

The existing presentations do not feet the requirements. So, an extension is appropriate.
I wan to present in a dedicated tab (in a WI) the list of all files which are included in the linked change sets and a check box for each file. The check box will be used to mark if the file code reviewed or not. |
