Adding the project name to defects

There is a field that is setup as a dropdown list labeled “project”.

This dropdown list however is blank by default in Customization --> Project Lists

you would have to manually add your projects to the list then you could go through all the defects and select the correct project and any new projects would need to be manually added to this list.

The other option would be to add a custom field and then use the workflow to pull the project name from the TDConnection object

in Project customization you would need to go to project entities, click on Defects, and add a user defined field (make of note of the database column assigned (ex BG_USER_01).

Then you could go under workflow and add the following

under Defects Module Script --> Bug_New add the following

 Sub Bug_New
   On Error Resume Next
      Dim bugProject
      bugProject = TDConnection.ProjectName
      Bug_Fields.Field("BG_USER_01").Value = bugProject
   On Error GoTo 0
 End Sub
 

Under Defects Module Script --> Bug_MoveTo add the following

 Sub Bug_MoveTo
   On Error Resume Next
      Dim bugProject
      bugProject = TDConnection.ProjectName
      If Bug_Fields.Field("BG_USER_01") = "" Then
         Bug_Fields.Field("BG_USER_01").Value = bugProject
      End If
   On Error GoTo 0
 End Sub
 

Now whenever you open a new bug the workflow will automatically add the project name to the Defect and anytime you move to an existing Defect it will check the field and add the project name if needed.
