Filtering links in the Quick Information section: What is the linkTypeFilter property?
I am using the web client of RTC, making changes to an Editor Presentation.
I want to use the Quick Information Slot with the Non-Attribute-based Presentation "Links" but only allow Parent/Child links. I think that the Links property "linkTypeFilter" should do this, but I can't find any documentation, forum posts or even Google search results about it. I have tried inputting Work Item types and Link types, but everything I have input so far filters out all of the existing links and only allows you to select "None" as a link type. Can someone explain what this property does and what the syntax is for its input? If not, is there another way of filtering links? |

Using the webUI, add a linkTypeFilter property.
Then for the value, use a list of link IDs separated by commas, all surrounded by square brackets.
Here is a valid value for a linktypefilter property added via the Web UI that allows only parent and predecessor links.
[com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.parentworkitem, com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.schedulePredecessor]
<style> &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;; panose-1:2 11 5 2 4 2 4 2 2 3;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0in; line-height:107%; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Calibri&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;,sans-serif;} .MsoChpDefault {font-family:&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;Calibri&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot;,sans-serif;} .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt; line-height:107%;} /* Page Definitions */ @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; </style> Comments

Is there a list of linktype values documented anywhere? i.e. what is a "Child" link type id? |
There are three ways to achieve this depending on what you want. All the following can be preformed via the Eclipse UI.
1) Go to Editor Presentations and add a non-attribute based presentation "Links". You can then select multiple values of links which you might be interested in.
2) Go to Editor Presentations and add a non-attribute based presentation "References". You can then select a single type of links which you might be interested in. In your case, it would be a Parent/Child link.
3) Go to Editor Presentations and add a non-attribute based presentation "Quick Information". You can then select a configuration for the QI attribute. You can create such a configuration in "Quick Information Presentation" menu visible directly under the "Editor Presentations" menu (not available in the Web UI).

Thanks David. I'm still interested in how I would do this via the Web UI, however, because I don't have access to the Eclipse client for this project. |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
