Multiple templates per one work item/document type

Modified on Fri, 11 Oct at 1:05 PM

Since version: 2.6.0

By default, the system loads a checklist template depending on work item /document type. You can define it via specifying the property

nextedy.checklist.YOUR_WI_TYPE.YOUR_CHECKLIST_ID.workItemTemplateId=EL-120

You can reconfigure such system behaviour and specify what built-in or custom field controls what template applied.

Example:

Imagine you have a work item custom field "requirementType", which is the enumeration that has two options "system" or "software".

You want a checklist "requirementReady" to be loaded from a template that is different for system or software requirements.

First, you set that the requirementType is a control field.

You may set it in a general view for all WI types as below:

nextedy.checklist.workitem.requirementReady.controlField=requirementType

or for the specific WI type only (in this case, WI type is 'requirement'):

nextedy.checklist.workitem.requirement.requirementReady.controlField=requirementType

and second, you can define the templates:

nextedy.checklist.system.requirementReady.workItemTemplateId=EL-120
nextedy.checklist.software.requirementReady.workItemTemplateId=EL-121

The same applies for Documents, just use the property:

nextedy.checklist.document.CHECKLIST_ID.controlField=DOCUMENT_CUSTOM_FIELD _ID

All configuration properties are stored in Project Administration > Configuration Properties.
