Creating Epics & Stories from Demand with more fields?

[Uncle Rob]

OOB it looks like Epics and Stories don't inherit much from the Demand (short description only as far as I can tell).
I'd like to inherit a lot more, including assignment group, description, and some of the dates.

The CreateEpic UI Action calls this function from AgileDemandConversionUtil

The function seems to be open to a parameter called preFields, however the UI Action calling it never sends it as a parameter.

Has anyone successfully added more fields to the Epic/Story output from a Demand?
If so, how much did you have to mess with OOB code?

Hi Rob,

Yes this actually works very well.

I wanted to pass some fields to be copied at story level from demand as well, I used the below code:

function convertToStory() {

    var prefields=[

{"fieldName": "description", "fieldValue": current.description} ,

{"fieldName": "top_portfolio", "fieldValue": current.portfolio}

];

    var agileDemandConversion = new AgileDemandConversion();

    agileDemandConversion.convertDemandAndUpdateReferenceField(current,prefields);

    action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

Hope this helps.
