I have been tasked with updating the work item templates in Team Foundation Server for my Scrum team.
One such update is to add a field "Type" to the "Bug" work item. However, after doing so, and adding it to the layout, it is not appearing when I create a new work item, yet it shows when I "preview form". How can I get it to appear?
I've already uploaded my changes to the server, imported the changed file, refreshed the server, reopened VS, and checked the XML file to make sure it is properly formatted.
Also, when I create a new "Bug" work item and attempt to save, an error displays, saying that the "Type" field cannot be empty, which is not visible on the template.
Any help would be appreciated.
After much tribulation, I have solved my issue, and it was quite simple.
On the "Layout" tab of the Work Item in question, I had to change two settings. First, I had to st "Read-only and Empty Fields" to "False" and then set the field attribute of the field I was adding to "Fieldcontrol".
Everything works as intended now.
