Add or modify workflow Reasons in Devops Azure Workitems

Question

Presently I am using Devops Azure (Cloud). For Work items is there a way to add and modify workflow Reasons.

State and Reason change

I am looking to add some custom reasons in the work item for each State.

Is there a way to change these. From the help, its mentioned, "You can add and remove workflow States. However, you can't add or modify workflow Reasons.". Any pointers to do this.

Answer 1

I am looking to add some custom reasons in the work item for each State.

I am afraid there is no such way to add some custom reasons in the work item for each State.

Although we can use custom fields and custom rules, it can only achieve one state for one reason.

That because Azure devops not allowed to have multiple rules with the same action type using the same conditions:

And on the other hand, we also could not add a list as value of Picklist items:

So, I do not believe we could add some custom reasonS in the work item for each State at this moment.

You could add your request for adding a list as value of Picklist items on our UserVoice site (https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/idea/post.html?space=21 ), which is our main forum for product suggestions. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.

Hope this helps.
