Best Practise to provide User-Configuration for an VSTS-Extension


I'm developing a VSTS-Extension which will be executable in the contextmenu of a workitem. I need to provide user-level configuration for the action that is performed by the extension (e.g. which external service should be notified, when performing an action). I'll store the data using the Data-Service provided by the API.

Is there a best-practise to make the configuration available to the user (comparable to the configuration of a dashboard-widget)?


Solution

  • There isn’t the configuration view to config context menu of a work item extension.

    You can configure it in a backlog tab page and store the settings for the user by using Data Storage.
