How can I create a default date based off a time offset for a work item in TFS WIT definition?
In section of the WIT, you can define FIELD values. Is it possible to have, say a "NumberOfWeeks" FIELD and then generate a DueDate when the work item is first created? (Transitions from "" to "Open" states). I know you can default to the system clock, but can you add an offset to that?
The idea is, when creating a custom Task, the user will put a number in "NumberOfWeeks" and when that work item is created, it will take the current date plus the number of weeks and populate a due date with that date.
Currently using TFS2015.
According to my understanding, you want to create a filed similar to Original Estimate . TFS will auto generated the due date based on the values creator specify and it will follow the rule as due date= work item creator time+ NumberOfWeeks
It also have similar functions like a calculated "Days in State" field, and "Days since created" for tracking workitems.
What you are looking for is a kind of calculated fields in TFS.
