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. Here I wish to be able to display the parent PBI for each of them. Either by expanding them or just by displaying an additional column with link to the parent PBI
I appreciate your help
Edit: I know that that there is a possibility to create a query on TFS. The problem is that I need to display the information on the parent Work item that are related to a specific Release so the user can use them for reporting. I tried to to create a query for this purpose but I couldn't find a filtering option based on Release so I thought it might be possible to enable some additional columns or there might be an extension for that but I couldn't figure out how to do it..
The steps to achieve that with extension:
- Get specify release to get build id
- Get work items of that build per build id
- Get related work items
There is simple code of extension to get work items of specific release that you can refer to:
