I having currently implemented the isubscriber interface so to be able to detect when a workitem has changed. I notice that when a cast the event to a workitemchanged event that there is refernce to: corefields, and changedfields. However, I am unable to get the "integration build" field from workitem as it's based when the workitem is a bug type. How can I get this field value than having to reference the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll, and use the function GetService.
cheers

Get the WorkItem object of your working (from its ID), the use the WorkItem.Item property (see the doc here) with the reference name of the field.

I have implemented VSTO plug-in for Outlook 2016 / 2019. I have added one custom property. On production, for one user (this user has tried on different machines as well), whenever we try to add our custom property we get exception.
I am using following code snippet :--
UserProperty securedFlag = mailItem.UserProperties.Find("Custom.Secured", true);
int currentValue = -1;
if (securedFlag == null)
{
try
{
securedFlag = mailItem.UserProperties.Add("Custom.Secured", OlUserPropertyType.olInteger, false, OlFormatInteger.olFormatIntegerPlain);
}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
DarkAddInEventLog.WriteException(ex, "Secure");
}
}
When we execute above code, it is throwing following exception :--
"A custom field with this name but a different data type already exists. Enter a different name."
I have also tried to search same property in non-custom properties by passing false (in second argument of find API) which also throws exception that this property does not exist. Therefore it seems confirmed that this property does not exist before.
Now I have 2 doubts :--
1- If this property does not exist, then why outlook is throwing this error ?
2- Same plug-in is working with other users but only one user is facing this issue. Is it related to some mailbox configuration ?
The error means a property with the same name has already been used in the same mailbox, it might not even be your property, but since all custom properties use the same GUID (PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS), you can run into this problem with duplicate names.
Your only option is to either use a different name (and make sure it is not generic enough to conflict with other properties created by some other apps - e.g. you can prefix all your properties with a unique prefix, such as "MyCompanyProp.") or avoid using UserProperties collection completely and set your custom properties using PropertyAccessor specifying the full DASL name of the named properties with your own custom GUID.
I need to get the Title of a project rather than the name of it. This can be done using the ProjectSummaryInfoEx method for the application object but I'm not sure how to get this line to return the value I need. Without any commands, it simply opens up the Summary info dialog box, and any inputs I provide come back as an invalid argument.
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
I suggest using:
ActiveProject.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Title")
or a property of the Project object such as:
ActiveProject.Name
References: Application object, Project object, BuiltinDocumentProperties
In addition to Rachel's answers, you can also use this:
ActiveProject.Tasks.UniqueID(0).Name
UID zero will always be the project summary task, and the name property will be the title of the project.
How to access the corresponding FieldDefinition, if I have only the jcr property name at hand.
Is there any desired functionality,like find a field definition by a jcr property name ? If not, how would I access configured field definitions in java code ?
Scenario : I need to determine, if a given jcr property name was configured to be an i18n-capable field in definition ?
The answer is you can never be sure if property was configured to be i18n-able (or have any other trait) at the time it was last edited as definition might have changes since.
However to achieve what you want (obtain the definition), what you need to do is:
get a parent node of the property in question,
get value of it's mgnl:template property. That's your templateId,
use the templateId to obtain template from the registry,
read value of dialog property of the template, that's your dialogId
use the dialogId to obtain dialog from the registry
scan tabs in the dialog to find property definition with name of the jcr property you have started with
I've created a Rally.ui.AddNew button to add a new release.
If the user hits "Add with Details" (which is the only active button for releases, you can't add a release without details) I would like certain fields to be set by default when the dialog is opened.
For example, I would like the "Create matching Releases in all child projects" checkbox to be set (if it exists), and I'd like to put a default note in the "Notes" area.
How do I do that? It does not look like the listeners "beforecreate" or "create" are called if the details dialog comes up.
Ideally I'd also like a chance to check these items again with another listener just before the item is created. Do these listeners exist?
The Rally standard editor likely provides only limited capabilities for defaulting field values when instantiated. As an indication, AppSDK1 had the rally.sdk.util.Navigation.popupCreatePage() method, which would accept an object with default values, for example:
// Open Defect editor with Defect default-associated to User Story with OID 12345
rally.sdk.util.Navigation.popupCreatePage("defect", {requirementOid: 12345});
The default key/value pairs that this method accepts were not well-documented. One of Rally's UI Engineers provided me with this list at one time:
rally.sdk.util.Navigation.popupCreatePage defaults keys
User Story:
defaultName
rank
iteration
release
parent
dpyOid {dependency}
Defect:
defaultName
defectSuiteOid {Defect Suites}
testCaseResult
testCase
requirement
iteration
Defect Suite:
defaultName
rank
iteration
Portfolio Item:
defaultName
rank
parent
Task:
workProduct
Test Case:
testfolderOid {Test Folder}
artifactOid {Artifact}
Test Set:
iteration
release
While the above list may not be exhaustive (or even completely accurate anymore), it suggests that the allowed defaults for the standard Rally Editor may not include the "Create matching Releases in all child projects" checkbox or the Notes field.
Nonetheless, it's not immediately apparent to me that there is any method or config for AppSDK2's Rally.ui.AddNew that is an analog in functionality to AppSDK1's rally.sdk.util.Navigation.popupCreatePage() ability to setup default values into the resulting Editor window. Hopefully one of Rally's UI Engineers may have better information to add to this question.
Unfortunately for now not all the built-in fields are defaultable (see Mark W's answer above for the list of pre-fillable fields). Any custom fields are though. You'll want to check out the beforeeditorshow event. You can modify the params there.
addNewComponent.on('beforeeditorshow', function(addNew, params) {
params.defaultName = 'foo';
params.c_MyField = 'bar';
});
Note that if you would just like to create or edit objects you can directly call the methods on Rally.nav.Manager.
I am following an article that explains how to use the ICustomAttributeDataHandler class.
I am creating a custom column for the inbox screen, but the problem is that the value I set for my custom attribute is not being reflected on the screen.
As a test I am changing the task name to "whoKnows". But this code is not effecting what is output on the screen:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
(I am able to print debug lines from my custom class when the inbox is viewed, so I know my code is being run.)
Someone on the comments of that article wrote:
the user must call the
"setCustomAttributesInQuery() method
on the dataprovider passing in a
string array of the custom attributes
...what does that meen? Could this be my problem?
thanks.
To be honest, I have already used Webtop, but just as an user. I found a post in the dm developer discussion group that can be useful, though:
For creating a custom column in the
doclist you dont need to go through
this complex procedures. You can use
custom attribute datahandlers for
this.
First in your object list component xml file add your custom column
definition in the "columns" tag. You
can even add static columns instead of
the documentum attributes.
Now create a class which implements the ICustomAttributeDataHandler.
Implement the default the methods getRequiredAttributes and the getData
function.
In getRequiredAttributes add attributes of the object that you are
looking for.
In your getdata method retrieve each row and then based on the
attribute that you see, just set the
value that you want to. 6) Finally
define your class in the app.xml file
There is a section in WDK developement
guide regarding
ICustomAttribuetDataHandlers. Look for
the topic named "Adding custom
attributes to a datagrid".
I'm not sure if this is the final solution, but I hope it helps!
To answer you question about setCustomAttributesInQuery()
every datagrid in WDK is backed by an underlying data provider. You can get this proivder by using the following code.
Datagrid datagrid = (Datagrid)getControl("doclist_grid",com.documentum.web.form.control.databound.Datagrid.class);
DataProvider dp = datagrid.getDataProvider();
Once you've done that, you can call
dp.setCustomAttributesInQuery(myArr);
I'm not actually sure if this is part of the solution to your problem, but you could try this and see where it gets you.
You have to configure the inbox component.
if using classic view, go to inboxlist component and add your custom attribute.
<column>
<attribute>CustomAttributeName</attribute>
<label>Custom Attribute Label</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</column>
Your custom attribute has to be in a custom type that is a sub type of dmi_queue_item, because inboxlist shows only dmi_queue_item objects.
Hope this helps,

Tejas.
This may be a non-issue, but based on your code, I can't tell if you're doing this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
or this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet rs;
rs.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
You should be calling the setCustomAttributeValue method on the rs object instance, not on the interface.
