Create Work Item: Allow Team Project to be specified with a variable/plain text in Classic mode #163

Closed MichaelReitsma closed 2 years ago

MichaelReitsma commented 2 years ago

We use this extension in Classic mode. Currently all the fields which have some kind of dialog box such as -- Work Item Type, -- Area Path, -- Iteration Path and -- Additional Fields allow the use of plain text or a variable to be used because of the way the picklist is handled. However the field Team project can only be specified using the drop-down dialog box. We have a bunch of pipelines where we use this extension and would like to be able to specify all the fields of these tasks with the same set of variables. We store these in one pipeline Variable Group Library, so changing it here would mean it changes automatically for all pipelines that use this Library and this task. That is great except for the fact that we can not specify the Team Project field this way. It only accepts a choice from the drop-down list.

Please change this so that it behaves like the other fields mentioned which allow us to specify plain text or a variable.

Hi @MichaelReitsma,

thanks for the feedback. Limiting the project field to the values from the drop-down list was a convenience feature (for us and the user) to ensure that only existing projects are used. Since you are free to use any value in YAML, though, it doesn't make sense any more to limit the classic UI in that way. I'll allow additional values in the next version.

Cool, thnx. Any idea as to when this will happen ?

ReneSchumacher commented 2 years ago

I'm just looking through our backlog for the CWI task to see what else I might be able to do. Hopefully, I'll have a new version by the end of this week. Currently, I'm the only one working on the tasks :-/

MichaelReitsma commented 2 years ago

Ah cool !

MichaelReitsma commented 2 years ago

Did you get to finish it just before the weekend ?

ReneSchumacher commented 2 years ago

I'm afraid not :-( Too many internal meetings. I'll make the necessary changes over the weekend and try to get a colleague on Monday morning to review and approve. Sorry for the delay!

MichaelReitsma commented 2 years ago

It's ok. We have these meeting-interruptus here to.

ReneSchumacher commented 2 years ago

Hi @MichaelReitsma,

sorry again for the delay, but the new version is finally on its way to the marketplace. You should see the new version online in about 10-15 minutes. I'm going to leave this issue open and wait for your final feedback.

MichaelReitsma commented 2 years ago

Yup, it works . Thanx a lot from over here..

ReneSchumacher commented 2 years ago

Thx for the feedback! I'm closing the issue now. If you miss anything else, just let me know.
