Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-01-11 16:09:19 EST 
It would be great to intercep the generation of diffs for taskdata that are shown as notifications. Especially interesting is the interception of the value representation. Imagine you have HTML as description attribute which is nicely formatted with the corresponding attribute editor. In the notication, you see the raw value (eg. html tags). It would be good to have a hook that allows to provide a "textual" representation of the attribute values (maybe as callback on TaskAttributeMapper).

Have you tried overriding getValueLabel() in TaskAttributeMapper?
Comment 2 Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-01-11 18:39:46 EST 
Thanks for the hint. In the end, it is getValueLabels (plural) you need to override to get the expected results for the notifications. I'm just not yet sure if this doesn't influence other parts of the system. From my side, this solution would be sufficent and we can close this as WORKSFORME.

Thanks. Feel free to reopen if the current API is not sufficient.
