Syntax for Change Task Multiple Participants Selection xconfmanager

[dbailey-2]

Dear All

Looking for some advice on xconfmanager syntax

I am attempting to customise the participant list table as per the link below, I have added a Sub type to the Change task

The example in the support is

<Property name="wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="custom.path.CustomSubChangeTask1,custom.path.CustomSubChangeTask2"/>

If the internal name for my new task is com.fortvale.DEALI assumed that to add the property the syntax should be

xconfmanager --add <Property name="wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="com.fortvale.DEAL "/>

When run this command the error I get is "The syntax of the command is incorrect."

Could you please advise what the correct syntax

Searching in the wt.properties file I can not find an entry for the  property "wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection", do I need to add this property first.

I am on Windchill 11.2.1.4

Hi David,

Before you add another value check to see if one already exists using -d (describe). Issue this command in a Windchill shell

xconfmanager -d wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection

If none already exists then set an initial value using -s (set) and -t (target)

xconfmanager -s wt.change2.changetask.MultipleParticipantsSelection=com.fortvale.DEAL -t codebase/wt.properties

then force propagation

xconfmanager -pf

Hi Rhart

Just to confirm once I have created the initial value, I then need to set the required value
