Can I automatically populate an attribute value when a Work Item is created via the Add-link?


Robert Truban (33811) | asked Aug 09 '12, 1:23 p.m.
I have a common enum attribute value called 'Customer' that I would like to be automatically set when you create a new Work Item via the Add-Links. For example, I have a Story, I go to the the links tab, select Add-->Related and select Create Linked Defect, when the new Defect pops up I would like its Customer value to be automatically set to the same value as the Story's it was linked from...  What is the easiest way to do this?  

Thank in advance!

Hi,
      You can create an Operation participant to detect the parent WI value and populate the child WI -  specific attribute. You can check the WI Types too to satisfy conditions.

Thanks.
