TFS 2017 Release Management: How to display parent PBI for Tasks under Release

Question

Is there any way to show the parent PBI for a Task Work item under Release in the list under TFS2017?

The screenshot below shows two tasks associated with Release-3.

Answer 1

The steps to achieve that with extension:

1. Get specify release to get build id
2. Get work items of that build per build id
3. Get related work items

There is simple code of extension to get work items of specific release that you can refer to:

HTML:

    
    
    
    


    

        
widgets starain
  
        
none

        
            select
        
        
            select
        
        

            none workitem
