Add a custom attribute of type Contributor list to a work item programmatically (Java API)
Hello,
Please I need to know how to put a custom attribute of type Contributor list to a work item programmatically (via the Java Plain client API).
I am able to do it if the custom attribute is of type Small String:
IAttribute attribute = service.findAttribute(projectArea, "internalState", monitor);
workItem.setValue(attribute, "karim");
But I need to know how to do so if the custom attribute is of type Contributor list..
Thank you so much in advance.

One answer
I have the same question. Have you discovered the solution since you originally posted this question?
I think your question could use some clarification though. Your title implies you are actually adding a new attribute to an existing work item, but your problem description implies that what you are actually trying to do is add a contributor to an existing contributor list attribute. Those are very different objectives.
I've done this successfully with the Subscribers list, but that seems to be a special built-in attribute. There is a function "getSubscriptions().add(contributor)". For a custom attribute of type "Contributor List", I would need an equivalent capability.
