Azure DevOps Work item custom field as checkbox


I am setting up Azure DevOps to track Features and other work items. One of the things I want to track is what environment bug was found in.

My preference is to have a list of checkboxes user can check/uncheck.

I have not found any way to do this using default setup or the Marketplace.

Anybody who can help me out?


Solution

  • To use checkboxes, you can try the extension Multivalue control. Follow below steps to do that:

    1. Install the extension Multivalue control
    2. Navigate to the specific inherited process, select the work item type (Task in this sample). Add a new field (BugType with Text (single line) in this sample, you can also create a picklist field based on your requirements).

    1. New group (BugType in this sample)

    2. Add a custom control to Task, select the Multivalue control from the control list. enter image description here enter image description here

    3. In Options select the field created in step2, and enter the bug type you want to set (e.g Dev;Test;Pord). OK to save the configuration. enter image description here

    4. Open a Task work item to verify the checkboxes. enter image description here
