How to add more items to Priority dropdown in TFS work item

I've created TFS project based on MSF for CMMI process template.

For any type of work item I can only select priority between 1 and 3 which is not enough precise for our process.

How can I widen this priority range, so that I have, for example, priorities 1-8 using process explorer UI?

Solution

  • You will need to edit the work item template. To do so, export a copy of the work item template using witexport. Next you will need to make changes to the allowable values, either in XML or by using the Work Item Template Editor included with Team Foundation Server Power Tools. Finally, reimport the updated workitem template using witimport.

    Hope that helps.
