A ChoiceAttributeText business rule writes text to a Text
attribute depending on the value in a Choice attribute.
You can use the ChoiceAttributeText rule to set up workflow
instructions. For example, when the status of a requirement is Accepted,
the steps to further propagate the requirement in the process can
be displayed. The instructions are in the business rule container
attribute, which is a Text attribute.
The ChoiceAttributeText business
rule must be specified in the Description attribute in the top folder
of the module. By reusing an XML template, which is created with the
"write_defaults" parameter, it is easier to define the business rule.
Prerequisites
- A choice attribute that triggers the business rule
- A business rule container (Text attribute) to enter the business
rule
Format
In the business rule container attribute
for an element, enter the business rule in the following format:
=ChoiceAttributeText('Choice Attribute Name',"write_defaults")
