  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * In RTC, RAM lifecycle project, after creating a new          *
  * workItemType(attachment 52837), when I wanted to save the    *
  * new work item type a error comes up (see attachment 52838 )  *
  * and stop save action.                                        *
  * It seems from the warning that a workitem can not be found.  *
  * to Rich's mind , it is because Somewhere along the way we    *
  * deleted the bugzilla workflow in the lifecycle template but  *
  * we forgot to remove the bugzilla workitem type and category. *
