Configure Multiple Risk Item types

Starting with version 23.7.7, Risksheet introduces support for multiple Risk (row) Work Item types, giving you greater flexibility when managing various kinds of risk-related items in your project. Previously limited to a single type, you can now define a selection of allowed types and choose the appropriate one from a dropdown when creating a new Risk item.

Configuration

Specify Risk Work Item Types

In the "dataTypes" section of the Risksheet configuration, put comma-separated IDs of Work Item types that will correspond to the Risk level.

...
"dataTypes": {
    "risk": {
      "type": "risk,issue"
    },
...

Create a specific column that shows the Type

When creating a new Risk item, you will be able to specify from the dropdown menu what WI type it should be created as.

...
{
      "headerGroup": "Potential Failure",
      "headerGroupCss": "headPotentialRisks",
      "headerCss": "headPotentialRisks",
      "header": "Item Type",
      "bindings": "type",
      "minWidth": 150,
      "id": "itemType",
      "level": 2
    },
...

Note: When the item is already created, it is no longer possible to change its type.
