Part 3 — Create a Fix Work Item

Creates a DevOps Center WorkItem to track a fix for a test failure or Code Analyzer violation. This is an optional write, triggered only when the user asks to create a fix work item, log a remediation, or assign a failure to a developer.

Prerequisites

Run Prerequisites 1–4 (references/prerequisite-checks.md). You need doce-org-alias, a DevopsProjectId to file under, and an OwnerId (assignee). If no DevopsProject exists, surface that the work item cannot be created until a project exists — do NOT fabricate a project or work item.

Inputs required before creating

Input	How to obtain
`DevopsProjectId`	From the pipeline's associated project — query `DevopsProject WHERE Name = '<projectName>'` on the doce org if not already known
`Subject`	Derived from failure analysis — e.g. "Fix: Missing code-analyzer-v5.yml workflow in blitz-10-06 repository"
`OwnerId`	User ID of the developer to assign to — query `SELECT Id, Name FROM User WHERE Username = '<username>'` on the doce org if not known. Default to the requesting user when no assignee is specified; ask only if the username is unknown and no default applies.
`doce-org-alias`	Established in Prerequisites

Confirmation gate

Before creating the work item, show a summary and wait for explicit confirmation:

"I'll create a fix work item with the following details:

Subject: <subject>

Assigned to: <assigneeName>

Project: <projectName>

Shall I create it?"

Do not proceed until the user confirms.

Creating the work item

sf data create record \
  --sobject WorkItem \
  --values "Subject='<subject>' DevopsProjectId='<DevopsProjectId>' OwnerId='<OwnerId>'" \
  --target-org <doce-org-alias> \
  --json

Important: Use WorkItem (no namespace) — DevopsWorkItem is not a supported sObject in this org version.

On success

Parse the returned id and confirm:

"Fix work item created (<id>): <subject>. Assigned to <assigneeName> in the <projectName> project."

Error handling

Never expose raw API error messages. Map errors to plain-language responses:

Error	Response
`FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION`	"The assignee ID is invalid. Let me look up the correct user ID — what's the developer's username?"
`REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING`	"A required field is missing. Check that `Subject` and `DevopsProjectId` are both provided."
`INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS`	"Your user doesn't have permission to create work items in this project."
Any other error	"The work item could not be created. Error: `<plain summary>`. Try again or create it manually in DevOps Center."

No-project case

If the DevopsProject query returns 0 records, report clearly that no DevOps Center project exists and the work item cannot be created until one is set up. Do NOT fabricate a project name/ID, do NOT proceed to the confirmation gate or the create command.
