Hi Dan (and Luis),
First of all, I want to thank you you for your quick answer. It's very important to me as I'm stuck with this problem.
Dan, my answers are below (in red):
A couple of things you can try:
a) Download the work item type from the server using witexport (in PF\MS VS 2005\Common7\IDE), and compare the fields in question defined in the downloaded definition from a working project, with the one you were using as part of project creation. You could upload a new process template after replacing your older work item type definition with the downloaded one.
When I download the work item type with witexport the reportable attribute for the work item is:
< FIELD name="Title" refname="System.Title" type="String" reportable="dimension">
But when I download the custom process template (with the process template manager) the reportable attribute for this work item is :
<FIELD name="Title" refname="System.Title" type="String" reportable="detail">
while on the copy of this process template which I have on my file system the reporting attribute is:
<FIELD name="Title" refname="System.Title" type="String" reportable="dimension">
I tried to change my local copy to "detail" and upload it back to the team project with witimport I get the following error:
Error: Actual reporting settings for the field System.Title are different from t hose specified in the XML. Changing these settings is prohibited.
I know that the process template can have different defintions in it's fields than the ones defined in one of the team project's (which can be changed by witimport) but I can't seem to synchronize between the two or even upload one as the custom template with the process template manager as I keep getting this error.
b) Compare your repotable settings. Use "witfields view /s:myserver system.title" to compare the reportable attriblutes on the server, with the ones you have in the process template.
When I'm doing this I get :
Field: System.Title Name: Title Type: String Reportable As: dimension Use: System Field
When I try to fix reporting attribute and upload the template I get the same error in the upload process in the process template manager.
Am I missing something or I'm just being dumb? please help.
Thank you
