人盡茶涼 提交于 2020-02-25 08:13:22
问题 I need to add some fields to my work item types in an existing team project to support integration with other toolsets. However, after adding those fields in my work item type definitions using the Team Foundation Power Tools Process Editor, and following the instructions detailed here, the tickets still do not contain this field. Instead, it is only new tickets that are created with this field. Is it possible to add a field to existing TFS work items, rather than just updating the Work Item

问题 It's easy to see what changesets are linked to a given work item. But is it possible, given a changeset, to find out what work item(s) it is linked to? 回答1: If you have the changeset number then in TFS explorer in VS press CRTL + G and provide the changeset number and click OK. That will bring the change set in team explorer. Then you can click on a folder/file and select view history which will show you the work items related to it. See view changesets for more information. Also, check out

问题 In using tfpt from the command, I'm getting the error: PS D:\Main Line> tfpt uu /noget Unable to determine the workspace.

I also tried this which doesn't work either PS D:\Main Line> tfpt uu /recursive /noget 'D:\Main Line' Unable to determine the workspace. I thought it was just using the current path to figure it out, but

问题 I've used TFS Power Tools on a daily basis for several months. I particularly depend on Windows Shell Extension.

Any thoughts on how to fix this? **UPDATE** Dave gave me the answer via

问题 I'm trying to use tfpt to migrate a shelveset from a source branch into a target branch, but it doesn't appear to do anything...not that I'd expect much more...but any chance anyone knows what's wrong?
