javascript for enumerations
Hi,
I am trying to grab the contents from an enumeration and copy it into another field using workitem.getvalue("enumerationID"); but instead of getting the actual value of the field, I get the literal ID of the item in the enumeration.
Is there a way for me to get the actual value rather than the literal ID of the items in an enumeration?
thanks!

Hi Luis,
if you are talking about attribute customization I can't provide you with an answer. The support for all not string based types is still very limited. I have not been able to set certain attribute types such as contributor types. You might have to create a translation table for the enumeration literals. Since you would have to maintain it in several places I would consider not using attributeCustomization in this case.
I am not really sure what you try to achieve, but in general the Java API provides more complete capabilities that can be used in advisors and participants (precondition/followup action). If you are looking for an answer for the Java API, you should be able to find some hints here: http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/manipulationg-work-item-enumeration-values/.
