Enhance support for template variables in the workitem templates, e.g. Owned By attribute

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We want to define the work item owner as variable in a work item template. Therefore we modified the work item template xml as follows:
Added the line:
<rtc_cm:WorkItemTemplateParameter id="ownedBy:Contributor" default="" name="User ID"/>
and replaced the ownes of the WIs with this variable:
<rtc_cm:ownedBy rdf:resource="${ownedBy:Contributor}"/>

All looks fine, we can define user id via variable - see screenshot.

But the work item creation dialog never returns and there is no error message.

How can we set the owner as parameter when we create work items via template?


On further discussion with our development teams it was concluded that using 'ownedBy' parameter is not completely supported yet (see: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WorkItemTemplates)

Previously some Enhancements as mentioned in the enhancement (https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=366292)
were completed to support other String values (other than filedAgainst or plannedFor), but those just allow us to have a simple replacement of certain text in the Description or Summary.
We still can't add a variable to specify e.g. ownedBy

We have reopened this enhancement and development team will consider to implement in the future release of the product.

    The EWM Ideas Review board looked at this request and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.
