ActionItem Menu/List add

[cadjett]

I have had a request here to add a menu on tab/jsp/page #2 of the ActionItem Attributes creation area.

The customizers guides covers editing rbInfo for field name change, reorder, hid/show:

<wt_home>\codebase\wt\meeting\actionitem\attributeConfig.xml

But it does not cover adding your own menu/list. Something similar to RiskValue there.

They wanted to add to the Category Menu on tab/page/jsp #1. Then they suggested renaming Risk to tier needed menu name, but I am trying to talk them put of that, saying I think there should be a way to add our own menu.

Since the page/jsp/tab #2 seems to be for customization area, I prefer to worry about adding the new menu there & not edit OOTB.

Only problem is, it looks like Risk & Category have their own java class:

Here are the tags for Risk in attributeConfig.xml:

<attribute resourcekey="riskValue"&lt;br"/> enabled="true"
order="220"
required="false"
resourceBundle="wt.meeting.actionitem.actionitemModelRB"
displayType="list"
internalName="RiskValue"
type="wt.projmgmt.admin.ProjectRiskValue"/>

Its easy to create the rbInfo file. but what do I do for the type class: wt.projmgmt.admin.ProjectRiskValue

Do I create my own. Do I need one. In order to get the selection of the new menu in the ActionItem info page.
In a database column/table/row/field or elsewhere.

I have a ptc help desk call in, but sometimes their customization support team cares & sometimes not.

Any help is appreciated.

I am surprised. Ireceived only one response tothis & it was just a request for images.

PTC Customization Support is stumped by this also. They gave one test that failed & have asked for another full day to look at it.

I guess the Action Item area is not an area ventured into too often.

You would think they would have the Action Item "Set Attributes" tab/page/jsp area open to creating extra menus/text/textbox/date.
But it seems to be an issue in the menu/list area, where the creation of EnumeratedTypeis restricted for customizations.

Any ideas that might beat PTC to the resolution would be appreciated. That or they say its not supported till futuredatecode&/or likely wont be at all.
