Question

I have created a custom kanban board. Inside the board, I have a button on the cards for someone to claim when they are going to code review an item. Upon clicking the button, I wanted to go check the live data to ensure nobody else claimed since the screen was loaded.

I have all that working if its a story, but if its a defect I had an issue. So in reviewing the code, I noticed I did a Rally.data.ModelFactory.getModel then a model.load.

So I am thinking this should be changed to .getModels and change types to incorporate both stories and defect. However, when I do this, how do I get that into the search properly. I am getting stuck with how to load it up and check.

Code snippet is:

if (this.getRecord().get("StoryStatus") == "Review Ready") {
                    if (this.getRecord().get("CodeReviewedBy") == '') {
                        content.add([{ xtype: 'button',
                            text: 'I will review',
                            scale: 'small',
                            listeners: {
                                click: function (btn, e, eOpts) {
                                    // Verify nobody has claimed it yet !
                                    var mod = Rally.data.ModelFactory.getModels({
                                        types: ['HierarchicalRequirement', 'Defect'],
                                        success: function (models) {
                                            var model;
                                            debugger;
                                            if (models.Defect) model = models.Defect
                                            else model = models.HierarchicalRequirement;

                                            model.load(eOpts.scope.record.internalId, {
                                                fetch: ['CodeReviewedBy'],
                                                success: function (currentRecord) {
                                                    var currentCRB = currentRecord.get("CodeReviewedBy");
                                                    if (currentCRB) {
                                                        window.alert('While you were sitting around doing nothing, ' + currentCRB + ' already started reviewing this code');
                                                    } else {
                                                        var con = Rally.environment.getContext();
                                                        currentRecord.set("CodeReviewedBy", con.context.user._refObjectName);
                                                        currentRecord.save();
                                                        location.reload(true);
                                                        //eOpts.scope.refresh();
                                                    }

                                                }
                                            });
                                        }
                                    });
                                    this.refresh()
                                },
                                scope: this
                            }
                        }]);
                    } else {
                        content.add([{ xtype: 'label',
                            html: '<b>Being reviewed by: </b>' + this.getRecord().get("CodeReviewedBy") + '<br>'
                        }]);
                    }
                }

Once you have the record you can actually use the self property to get the model- that will save you having to use ModelFactory.getModels again.

var model = this.getRecord().self;
model.load(this.getRecord().get('ObjectID'), {
    //fetch, success, etc...
});
