This correction is only available for Codebeamer version 2.2. The issues handled by this correction are resolved in later Codebeamer versions.
|
Description
This correction detects missing field values and automatically adds the missing value to the field.
In Codebeamer, changes to items are tracked in the revision history of the item. Errors may sometimes cause a field to be empty, even when according to the revision history that field should contain a value.
Clicking Restore adds the missing value to the empty field based on the most recent entry in the revision history of the item.

Changes to the Field Value While the Correction Is Being Used
Field values can change while the corrector module is in use. For example, this can happen if a field value is changed in the system after clicking Detect in the TrackerItemFieldValue correction but before clicking Restore.
In this case, clicking Restore does not overwrite changes that have been made to the field value after clicking Detect. After clicking Restore, the issue is marked as processed (that is, its processed value is set to 1), but the newly added field value is kept and is not overwritten.
Because the field is no longer empty, running the correction again by clicking Reset and then clicking Detect does not detect the same issue again.
To avoid this situation, it is recommended to use the TrackerItemFieldValue correction when the affected items are not being changed, for example, outside standard operating hours.
