This field is part of a custom list definition in a feature. Originally this was a required field. The change to not being required was done simply by removing the "Required='TRUE'" from the schema.xml, packaged as a solution, deployed via stsadm -o upgradesolution, etc.
It works as it should on my dev box but not on staging. I've compared the field element xml strings and they are identical (via SP Manager 2007).
I've tried setting it to required and back again via the UI, no change.
Any ideas?
Is this field used in a Content Type? If yes, then you might have to remove the Required='TRUE' from the Content Type section of the schema as well. Or if this field or its content type is declared at the web level, make sure you change the required attribute at that level as well.

I integrated Jira with Ranorex and now when testcase fails it create bug in Jira and fills all fields but these fields are hard coded in jira.jsd file. I want to set the value of fields with either global parameters or can handle it with varibles. Like value of affect versions can be given hard coded in jira.jsd file but this shouldn't fixed value, I want to change it from global parameters so when I run testcase and it fails it takes value of affect version from parameters.
Is it possible to set a custom field to a copy of the current value of System.IterationPath in a transition of a TFS work item workflow?
The problem I've encountered is that using a COPY doesn't appear to work as it complains that you can't copy from a TreePath to a String field (and you can't make a custom field of type TreePath).
eg. This doesn't work
<CopyRule from="field" field="System.IterationPath" />
This is not possible. Most rules are disabled on the special fields like Area and Iteration.
Not sure if it will help you but you can use System.IterationId field (which is an integer) in the copy rule.
I have created a global data type, and use form renderer in a page to let user fill in the data and submit to website.
The default English is working fine.
now when I try to support the second language I run into issues. According to the composite documentation:
1.Add your empty localization file at ~/Frontend/CompositeForms/Renderer/Localization/, for example: Composite.FormsRenderer.de-de.xml
2.Copy the contents of the default Composite.FormsRenderer.en-us.xml to your localization file.
3.Translate the strings.
4.In ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config, under the section locate Composite.Plugins.FormsRenderer's add section and register your localization file
but ~/Frontend/CompositeForms/Renderer/Localization does not exist, and neither does Composite.FormsRendereren-us.xml exists.
is the documentation outdated? does anyone had experience with localizing form renderer on user defined data type?
thanks
The documentation IS outdated at the moment (and will be updated soon - thanks for pointing it out).
Do it in the following way on 4.0 or later:
Make a copy of ~/Composite/InstalledPackages/localization/Composite.Forms.Renderer.en-us.xml, changing the language/culture code from 'en-us' to your language's (e.g. Composite.Forms.Renderer.de-de.xml).
Translate the strings.
No need to change anything in ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config any more.
I'm trying to follow the instructions for deploying a database via TFS build listed here:
http://www.mytechfinds.com/articles/software-testing/6-test-automation/64-db-deployment-tfs
The instructions include notes about how to configure a ConvertWorkspaceItem element. I've followed the directions, but TFS remains unhappy with my setting for 'Result' and 'Workspace'. For now, I simply entered the text from the directions ('dbproj' and 'Workspace', respectively). TFS complains about my values:
Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression "dbproj". 'dbproj' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its production level.
I'm trying to find basic tutorial information on the ConvertWorkspaceItem element, but other than the MSDN reference page there isn't a lot of info. Does anyone know much about configuring this element?
You need to specify valid variable names for both of these properties. there should already be a variable declared in the workflow called workspace, You will need to declare a variable of type string that you wish to receive the result of this activity and specify it's name as the Result property. It looks like in your linked article the author must have already created a variable called dbproj. At the bottom of the workflow designer is a variables tab where you can define your own variables.
I am building a Windows Service which will be deployed on four servers. My user wants to have the service read a configuration file from a common location, and load it OnStart.
I want the installation to prompt the user for the file path and file name to the configuration file when the service is installed, and then save that data in My.Settings.
I have figured out how to set the EDITA1 and EDITA2 variables in the Deployment project's UI, so that the user will be prompted for path and file name, but I don't know how to get those values out and into the settings of the service.
Help, please.

Did you try passing it to the custom action using CustomActionData Property in the Custom Action property window. syntax is /param=[EDITA1]
Context.Parameters will contain a dictionary with 1 entry key being "param" (in my example above that's the key I gave it).
I'm having a problem with passing in parameters which contain spaces. the guidelines say:
For custom actions that are installation components (ProjectInstaller
classes), the CustomActionData property takes a format of /name=value.
Multiple values must be separated by a single space: /name1=value1
/name2=value2.
If the value has a space in it, it must be surrounded by
quotes: /name="a value".
Windows Installer properties can be passed using the bracketed syntax:
/name=[PROPERTYNAME].
For Windows Installer properties such as [TARGETDIR]
that return a directory, in addition to the brackets you must include quotes
and a trailing backslash: /name="[TARGETDIR]\".
When I try the "[EDITA1]\" for the file path I need.. I get the 'FileNotFound' error for "C..\Microsoft..." while my path didn't have Microsoft
