Customizing work items - new attributes onto old work items
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'. Regards Marcel Jazz Work Item team |

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. |
