Setting the default value for the OOTB WTPart attributes via OIR

Can you tell me how I can set the default value for the OOTB WTPart attributes (End Item, Assembly Mode, Source, etc.) via OIR? We would like to set different default values across context.

 

Use case:

We have a library for purchased component. These parts should have a default value of Buy for Source. We manage our own products in product containers where the default value for Source should be Make.

    1. Add the following Object Initialization Rule to your type (wt.part.WTPart)

    <!-- set the Boolean IBA -->

        <AttrValue id="endItem" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.BooleanConstant">

            <Arg>true</Arg>

        </AttrValue>

    <!-- set the String IBA -->

      <AttrValue id="source" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant">

      <Arg>buy</Arg>

      </AttrValue>

      <AttrValue id="partType" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant">

      <Arg>inseparable</Arg>

      </AttrValue>

    <!-- specify AttrConstraint tag -->

      <AttrConstraint id="endItem" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">

      <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerPreGeneratedValue"/>

      </AttrConstraint>

      <AttrConstraint id="source" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">

      <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerPreGeneratedValue"/>

      </AttrConstraint>

      <AttrConstraint id="partType" algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GatherAttributeConstraints">

      <Value algorithm="com.ptc.core.rule.server.impl.GetServerPreGeneratedValue"/>

      </AttrConstraint>

    2. Edit the following  %WT_HOME%\codebase\com\ptc\core\rule\server\delegate\init\RuleConfigurableTypeAttribute.properties.xconf:

       <Property name="wt.part.WTPart" default="number,name,lifeCycle,lifeCycle.id,teamTemplate,teamTemplate.id,folder.id,organization.id,endItem,source,partType"/>

    3. Run "xconfmanager -pF" in Windchill Shell and restart Windchill

    You need to go to Type and Attribute manager, edit the type, then select the attribute. See panel on right

    Setting a default value for the End Item does not work.
