AzureDevops Server 2008- Workitem Cascading filed are not working

We are using AzureDevops Server 2008, and we couldnt find any feature available to create Workitems with cascading fields. We were trying to create some workflow/process for our support requests and planned to have some field hierarchy as below. But no plugins or features are available in the ADO.

Solution

  • On Azure DevOps Services (cloud) and Azure DevOps Server/TFS (on-prem), there is no built-in Cascading control.

    In the Marketplace, most of the Cascading related extensions are only available for Azure DevOps Services (cloud).

    However, I noticed that the following two extensions also can be available for Azure DevOps Server/TFS (on-prem):

    1. Dependent Lists

    2. Multi-Pickers Fields Control

    Since TFS 2008 is a so old version and had been end of support, not sure whether the two extensions can be compatible and work with TFS 2008. You can try to install and use them on your TFS 2008. If they cannot work, I'm afraid that you might need to upgrade the TFS 2008 to a newer version of Azure DevOps Server/TFS that can work with the extensions.
