I created about 300 work items (user stories), then added a new custom attribute to the user story work item type. The new attribute appears on new work items I create, but doesn't on the existing work item instances.

How can I get it to appear, so I can make use of the attribute in all the 300 existing work items?

Hi
You can 'synchronize' the old work items. To do this, create a query that returns all old stories. Select them all in the Work Item Explorer, right click on the first column (the icon) and select 'Synchronize Attributes'.

Thanks -- that worked well.

It is critical that the query created for this include the work item type as the first column -- that's the icon you mention.
