I also have the Same issue and Trying to get the Proposed Solution on Change Task Wizard  =using Alias Attribute

I'm not sure what is the requirement here ,do you mean to add Modeled Richt text attribute to the type change notice ?

There is no way to add Rich Text as IBA from UI you need to define a hard type  see PTC Windchill Help Center 

[Fadel]

try this create a string IBA on CN call it Myproposedsolution

on below example its called MyProposedSplution (there is a typo, ADHD side effect)

in below file  Windchill\codebase\com\ptc\core\components\components.dataUtilities.properties.xconf add line 

<Option serviceClass="com.ptc.core.components.factory.dataUtilities.RichTextDataUtility" requestor="java.lang.Object" selector="MyProposedSplution" cardinality="singleton"/>

run a xconfmnager -p + restart 

in the CN layouts add the DU edit attribute properties

On the CN you should be able to see the attribute on create and info Page : 

Note the above is not really supported by TS and it won't work on edit :

I followed the same steps.

Like this , on Change Notice page I'm getting the value for Attribute "??UnAssigned" . Still not able to resolve .

[Fadel]

I have the same : 

This all we can do OOTB , as workaoround you can remove that attribute from the Edit layout .

Hi,

You may create that attribute in the CN.

I did a quick check.

See the screen shots - create screen and edit screen of my CN.

I think it should be possible on the CT also, I just checked in CN.

What is the process you followed?

Cheers

you have added a string attribute , we need a Rich text one like this one : 

[Hari_Vara]

Hi,

Oh ok, I missed the initial expectation of rich text.

I think its a product gap. Iam not sure if this can e brought in by customization. 

The custo experts can answer here.

Hi Hari,

What steps you followed for String Type Attribute?

I used the OOTB attribute  - proposedSoluitons (type: String)  & created a new IBA - proposed Solutions-ud of Type String 

I am able to get the value of the IBA propagated from CR to CN , when Propogate changes checkbox is selected .

However , the Implementation Plan on CN create wizard doesn't get the value from CN . I am on Windchill 12.0 

Not used any DU .

Hello All, 

As said in the begining the suppsrted way to achieve this is by using Hard Types as OOTB IBAs do not handle RichText Datatype .

Here is an example to achieve this:

1. Create a folder <Windchill_home>src/com/acme
2. Copy below to file  AcmeModeledCN2.java 

   package com.acme;
   
   import wt.change2.WTChangeOrder2;
   import wt.util.WTException;
   import com.ptc.windchill.annotations.metadata.*;
   import com.ptc.core.richtext.HTMLText;
   
   @GenAsPersistable(superClass=WTChangeOrder2.class,
      properties={
      @GeneratedProperty(name="proposedSolutions", 
         type=HTMLText.class,
         javaDoc="Rich Text Porposed Solution")
     	  	  
   	  },
    
     iconProperties=@IconProperties(standardIcon="netmarkets/images/stopCN.png", 
       openIcon="netmarkets/images/stopCN.ong")
   )
   public class AcmeModeledCN2 extends _AcmeModeledCN2 {
   
      static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
   
      public static AcmeModeledCN2 newAcmeModeledCN2()
               throws WTException {
         AcmeModeledCN2 instance = new AcmeModeledCN2();
         instance.initialize();
         return instance;
      }
   }​

    3.  Change Directory to <Windchill_home>src/com/acme  in Windchill shell run below commands :

tools class -Dclass.includes=com\acme\*

tools -Dgen.input=com.acme.* sql_script

4. Change directory to folder <Windchill_home>db/sql3/com/acme run below commands (depending on db setting scripts may be in <Windchill_home>db/sql/com/acme r ) :

5. run SQL scripts in sqlplus : 

create_AcmeModeledCN2_Table.sql
create_AcmeModeledCN2_Index.sql

in file  <Windchill_home>\codebase\wt\change2\change2.properyties add below line

wt.services/svc/default/wt.change2.ConcreteAssociationDelegate/wt.change2.WTChangeActivity2/com.acme.AcmeModeledCN2/1=wt.change2.IncludedIn2Delegate/singleton

Restart server
