Project Management Item Properties

[matt.kelsay]

Hello,

I am trying to load an item from the Project Management tab in a script via the dmsID of the linked task. I have tried using item.project.subTasks[1].target_id (as shown on the scripting help page), but the script returns that the value is undefined. Does anyone know how I can access the dmsID of this task?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Matt,

I have helped many customers linking the Task records to the Project Mangement Tab of the Project Management Workspace.

Basically 

1) You have a WS - Project Management and you spawn a record in the WS - Task

2) Link the newly developed Spawn record from WS - Task back to the project managment tab of WS - Project Management.

See Attachments for reference

You will need to have 2 scripts

This script will be store in the Library - createNewItem

function createNewItem(baseItemName, newItemProperties){

newItem = createItem(baseItemName);

for(var propKey in newItemProperties){
newItem[propKey] = newItemProperties[propKey];
}

return newItem;
}

This script is an action script that will call the library SpawnTask_FromProject

if(item.SPAWN_TASK_WS !== null){

var newProperties = [];

newProperties.PROJECT_LINK = item.descriptor.descriptor;

createNewItem('WS_PM1_TASK_MANAGEMENT', newProperties);

if(newItem !== null){
item.SPAWNED_TASK_LINK = newItem;
}
}
