How to list comments and attachments of Requirements-Bugs and other kind of exported items

Tags: not added yet

To list the comments and attachments of the exported items add this piece of Velocity macro to the "properties" part of the export template (where the associations/relations are rendered too...). This will add a link for each attachments of the exported item, and when clicking on this link in Word that will open a browser and show the content of the attachment.

The attachments won't be embedded to the Word document, so when clicking on the link it will need a direct access and authentication to the codeBeamer server.

#if(${describable.attachments})
  <br>Attachments:</b><br/>
  <ul>
  #foreach($att in ${describable.attachments})
     #set ($url = „${cbBaseUrl}/rest/item/${describable.id}/attachment/${att.id}”)
     <li>
         #if($att.fileSize)
            <a href=”${url}”>${att.name}</a>
         #else
           ## this is a comment, print out owner and creation date and description text as plain text
           ${att.owner.name} - ${att.createdAt}
           <br/>${att.description}</li>
         #end
  #end
</ul>
