Change Order Link Properties not working

Hi all,

I have a client who is would like to create a Change Order Link Property called 'Priority' that can be set to Low, Medium, or High for each record that is attached to a Change Order.  According to the Wikihelp, that is exactly the type of info Link Properties are used for: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Vault/enu/2012/Help/02._Working_with_Vault/01._Vault_Client/1175VaultSe...

 

However, they do not appear to be working.  Below is the procedure I followed to try to create a Link Property.  I have tried this in Vault Professional 2011 Update 2 and Vault Professional 2012.  Both have the same result.  I have searched the forums, but could not find a solution.  Am I doing something wrong or do Link Properties not work?

 

1. Open the Vault Professional client and go to Tools->Adminstration->Vault Settings. Click on the Change Order tab and click Properties:

2. Click New to create a new property as shown, then click OK:

3. Close out Vault Settings, then create a new ECO with a record.  The Property appears, but it cannot be changed.

Clicking on the drop-down arrow has no effect:

4. Go back into Vault Settings and check the Link Property.  The settings have been changed:

Thank you posting this messge.

 

The ECO link Property only works for Items in the Records tab, not for files.

 

I have log a defect to update the wikihelp message.

 

Regards,

Carrie

I have also since tried to do this with FILES attached to an ECO.  The property appears, but you cannot edit the property.  I now understand (after reading this post) that this can only be accomplished by using ITEMS with an ECO.

 

I have attached the WIKI Help link that talks about linked ECO properties, but mentions NOTHING about how this can only be done with ITEMS.  This would have saved me a little bit of time if I knew this ahead of time.  Can you please update the WIKI page or put in a request for this to work with files too?  Thank you.

In looking into this myself, I came across an Ideastation post asking to add this functionality to files. Please go vote on it.

@KevinBurrows, you posted about this issue in 2011 and never told me. Ten years later, I just now realized why I can't change those properties. Haha!
