How to add a tab with calculated fields in TFS work itemss


I am trying to find some documentation in how to create a custom tab on tfs work items in order to show some fields which are calculated (not editable) and data comes from other systems.

enter image description here

However I cant find documentation about this, any idea?


Solution

  • What you're describing at first glance sounds like a modification to the process template. However, the part about the data coming from other systems makes it a bit trickier, as the process template simply controls the information available on the work item form and its layout.

    It sounds like what you really want is an extension, so you can extend the behavior of the work item form. Extensions will be available in on-premise TFS as of TFS 2015 Update 2.
