This article describes the possibilities of customizing attributes with default values, dependent value sets, validation rules and dynamic required attributes. You should be familiar with work item customization already. If not, please read Work Item Customization and Work Item Editor Presentations first. The functionality shown here applies to both the Web UI and the Eclipse UI.
Overview
An early preview of attribute customization was made available in RTC 2.0.0.2. In 3.0 the functionality has been extended and is now configurable in the Process Configuration UI of the Eclipse client. Default values, value sets and validation rules are managed in the Attribute Customizationsection of the Project Area Editor. Once you have defined them there, you have the option to associate e.g. a value set with custom or built-in attributes. Required attributes can be configured in the Operation Behavior section of Team Configuration and, since 3.0.1, computed dynamically for values of other attributes using a Condition.
