Customized states not visible in Visual Studio 2019 work item view


I have an Azure DevOps Server on-premise and I customized the inherited process to have the additional "In Progress"-States "Ready": Default states and additional state "Ready"

In the web view this new state is shown correctly: Azure DevOps Server WebView with correct new state

In Visual Studio I only see the default states and not my newly added state: Visual Studio Work Item Detail with missing state

Any ideas what needs to be changed or is this an incompatibility between Visual Studio and the new inherited processes?


Solution

  • Please try below items to narrow down the issue:

    1. Clear TFS caches

    path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\8.0\Cache

    2. Clear VS2019 caches path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxx\ComponentModelCache

    3. Change the work item state to Ready via web page, then open the work item via Visual Studio and check the Work Item Detail page
