Can you add a drop-down box for BoardColumn in TFS?

Question

In TFS, is it possible to add a drop-down box to the work item form that allows you to select/change the System.BoardColumn? Or is it only possible to change a board column via drag/drop on the board itself? This is in on premise TFS 2015

Use case: Sometimes we have an item open during a meeting to discuss it in depth. It would be easier to select a new column while the item is open for edit already than saving the item, then going back to the board to move it.

Answer 1

System.BoardColumn is a read-only field, you are not able to add a drop-down box for this field.

A workaround is mapping the State to the BoardColumn, and change the State field instead of BoardColumn field.
