How to map board column to customized state in Azure Devops Server


We are using Azure Devops Server and I have added a custom state called Tested to User Stories and bugs using the Witadmin tool. I have also added transitions to all other possible states. As you can see belo, my customized state is displayed perfectly in both the Bug form and the User story form.

But as you can see below, there is no way for me to map a Kanban board column to my customized state:

Is there somehting I have missed or is it not possible to map a board column to customized states?


Solution

  • Try to export ProcessConfiguration definition with command witadmin exportprocessconfig and update the RequirementBacklog section for the WIT you modified. Specifically, make sure that the Tested state you want to have show up on the Kanban board to type="InProgress":

    <State type="InProgress" value="Tested" />
    

    Then use witadmin importprocessconfig command to import the ProcessConfiguration definition.
