    Happy to see that there are also other users that offer rework possibilities in their Change Management processes. 

    Regarding your questions: The easiest way to get the top ItemType would be to use the 'labs_GetControlledItemCSharp' Method. With this Method you don´t have to go through all the Workflow and Assignment relationships by yourself and it´s highly reusable:

    Item controlledItem = this.newItem(this.getAttribute("type"), "labs_GetControlledItemCSharp");
    controlledItem.setID(this.getID());
    controlledItem = controlledItem.apply();
    string cmType = controlledItem.getAttribute("type");

    Of course the Method is also a good reference when you want to do the query by yourself. You should find it somewhere in the Aras Labs github website.

AngelaIp,

Thank you again for your help.  This worked.  I added your lines into my code and changed the sm_NDR in line "Item ecoParent = this.newItem("sm_NDR", "get");" to cmType.
