Defining a custom work item type
Hi
I was modifying the process template to define my custom work item type. I wanted help in the following scenarios - 1) The workitem type needs to have some attributes which have multiplicity 1 to many. How do I specify these in the template and also how to define the corresponding editor presentation ? 2) Is there any way I can group together some of the custom attributes into a type and then define a single attribute in my work item type to refer to this type. Again this attribute can have multiplicity 1 or many. 3) The work item type can be linked to only specific type of other work item types. How do I restrict what artifacts types a work item can be linked to ? Thanks - Vibha |

1) The workitem type needs to have some attributes which have We currently support only custom attributes of primitive types and enumerations, all with a multiplicity of 1. https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/work-items-cust/index.html There are two presentations (Multi-select list and checkbox) that may help with the multiplicity 1 problem in the case of enumerations, however. Expanding Work Item Customization -- among other things to overcome these current restrictions -- is high on the priority list for 1.1. 3) The work item type can be linked to only specific type of other You can restrict the link types themselves somewhat by using permissions. But finer-grained control over the work item types on the other side of the link is currently not possible to my knowledge. Please open an enhancement request for this.
