1. showParentAttribute 

showParentAttribute() { 
  // We use the work item create work flow for incidents although 
  // incidents haven't been migrated to work items and use the legacy 
// detail view instead. Since the legacy view doesn't support setting a parent 








// we need to hide this attribute here until the migration has been finished. 








//  if (this.selectedWorkItemTypeName === WORK_ITEM_TYPE_NAME_INCIDENT) { return false; }










// Hide Parent widget on Epic or Issue creation according to license permissions if ( this.selectedWorkItemTypeName === WORK_ITEM_TYPE_NAME_ISSUE || this.selectedWorkItemTypeName === WORK_ITEM_TYPE_NAME_EPIC ) { if (!this.validateAllowedParentTypes(this.selectedWorkItemTypeName).length) return false; }









return Boolean(this.workItemHierarchy); },

Purpose: Controls whether the Parent widget is shown during work item creation. Contains three hardcoded checks:

  • Incident check (Line 443): Hides parent widget for Incidents because they haven't been fully migrated to work items
  • Issue/Epic check (Lines 448-451): Hides parent widget for Issues and Epics if they don't have allowed parent types (license-based)

Impact: Hardcodes special behavior for three specific types (Incident, Issue, Epic) instead of using type-based configuration.

2. shouldDatesRollup

shouldDatesRollup() { return this.selectedWorkItemTypeName === WORK_ITEM_TYPE_NAME_EPIC; },

Purpose: Determines whether dates should roll up from child items. Only Epics have date rollup enabled.

Impact: Hardcodes date rollup behavior exclusively for Epics, preventing other work item types from having this feature.

Proposal

  1. useLegacyView to hide parent widget for incidents
  2. rollUp in dates widget definition
