Setting / updating work item attribute value using the java api
Hi, I've read a lot of the other posts about this, and I just can't get this to work.
I basically want to call "setValue(IAttribute, Object)" on a work item, and my approach is this:
EDIT: "att" is an IAttribute.
I can even print out the work item info, so I have the correct state:
but I keep getting the error:

wi = (IWorkItem) jazzAPI.fetchCompleteItem(wi);
val = wi.getValue(att).toString();
sayln("Now processing work item ["+wi.getId()+"] with info ["+wi.toString()+"]");
WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCpy = jazzAPI.getWorkItemClient().getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().getWorkingCopy(wi);
val = val.replaceAll(replaceFrom, replaceTo);
workingCpy.getWorkItem().setValue(att, val);
workingCpy.save(jazzAPI.monitor);
I can even print out the work item info, so I have the correct state:

Any ideas?
Accepted answer
Hi Morten,
I think you need to call manager.connect() before calling getWorkingCopy(). My code looks like this:

IWorkItemClient workItemClient= (IWorkItemClient)teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class); IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager manager= workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();
manager.connect(workItemHandle, IWorkItem.SMALL_PROFILE, progress.newChild(20));
IWorkItem workItem= null;
WorkItemWorkingCopy copy= manager.getWorkingCopy(workItemHandle);
workItem= copy.getWorkItem();
