Azure DevOps Button Control Functionality

[FormidableYeti]

Hello, I saw this project for Azure DevOps. It's a little hard to understand how this control works.

Installing it in Azure DevOps is simple. Click Install.

Then adding a custom control to a story to make the control visible is simple to do.

Once I add the custom control it presents three options that are required

DataTransfer, FieldstoCopy and TargetType.

My guess is DataTransfer is the name of what the button is to be called. FieldstoCopy, is what fields i want to send to the target type. TargetType is Story or Task for instance.

What I want this control to do is create a linked Child ticket in a different devops project. For instance, I have a project called 'Change Advisory Board'. I'd like to have a button in a story within different project 'engineering' create a ticket in 'Change Advisory board' that is linked to the engineering story ticket and copy some of the fields over, such as Risk, Description and perhaps a few others.

Is this functionality something that can be added?

Right now when I give data transfer the name: "Create CAB Ticket" and then try to click the button in a ticket, I get a popup that says "An embedded page at jjqin.gallerycdn.vsassets.io says Create CAB Ticket not implemented yet [OK].

Hi, I'm trying to achieve the following:

1. Name the button - "Create CAB Request"
2. When button pressed, it creates a ticket in the 'Change Advisory Board' project, ticket type story
3. The ticket created is linked to the parent ticket as a child ticket
4. The ticket created has some fields copied over, like Title, Description, Risk (initially).
5. the new ticket pops up so they can finish populating the rest of the request.

I may later on want add additional buttons that create child tickets in other projects or so it'd be good if the application lets me specify things like what project the ticket destination is, if it needs to be linked or not (and relationship), what the ticket type should be.

[avih75]

hi can you write to me what is the work item type name and what the refs names of the fields ?

Yes, for the child ticket it should go to:

Project is: 'Change Advisory Board (CAB)'

Work item type name is: 'Change Request'

Stock Azure DevOps Fields to copy into new ticket: Title, Description, Risk, Due Date.

hi well, you don't need to wait for it to update itself, that can take time just go to the marketplace, look for the extension try to install it, and it will tell you you already installed it. and he will upgrade.

don't got to the extension page from your local extensions because it will take you to the same version you have

Got it updated, looks like there's two versions in market place right now.

I added the button and removed the old one.

I went into the engineering process and modified story to have the button control. In the options for the button, added the following information:

Button Name: Create CAB Request Fields to Copy: System.Id; System.Title; System.Description Target type: Change Request

When I open a story in engineering project, the button control is there, but clicking does nothing.

I looked in the 'Change Advisory Board (CAB)' project and confirm no tickets created. The target type 'Change Request' exists only in the Change Advisory Board (CAB) project.

[avih75]

there is someonew how fork my git and publish it also.

i try something new, again....update the version please to 1.1.102

then take some picture and send me

found the error..

the work item type doesn't exist in this project. It only exists in the 'Change Advisory Board (CAB)' project.

I think the code isn't aware of the different project. Can we create a variable field that appears in options that asks for project name that the work item is in?

Just skimming the code... would be good if options also allows for what title to give the work item. For instance line 155, ["System.Title"]: "Sub Task of " + parentTitle, - would be nice if i could type in the options screen "Approval Request - " + parentTitle.

More options that are there, the more flexible the button control :)

[avih75]

oohhhh you want to create a new work item in a different project....... interesting that can be useful

and yes it can be done

if you just update version 1.1.103

hope thats the last one

I got one error when I had fields listed:

Your other projects are also really cool. Lots of extensibility there to get some badly needed functionality into Azure DevOps. Great work.

yes, because you use ";" you should use "," and no space System.Id,System.Title,System.Description

Ah! We're so close! Thank you yes, I see that problem.

So, there's a typo then in the tool tip, super simple fix - make the ; into a , (comma) to correct the tool tip...

Great news as well the ticket created in the right project and the fields copied!

We have one item that needs help. The Parent ticket (the ticket with the Create CAB button), isn't linked to the Child created ticket.

Once that's working, this is amazing! ;)

[avih75]

I see, well it suppose to open the new work item, and you should close it and save. isnt that what you asked ?

i will look into it today....

Errors gone. Ticket pops up open for edit, which is amazing, yes!

Can it do the link to the parent ticket automatically? It would be great if that was a option in the control. a on/ off control named, create child link relationship.

everything else is spot on perfect with this control.

[FormidableYeti]

wait this is interesting. the parent ticket shows the child link, but the child ticket (Change Request) doesn't show the parent link. I'm taking a look around real quick. this is curious.

[FormidableYeti]

Check this out.. wild.

[FormidableYeti]

I think I found it.

The parent ticket wasn't saved. So the child Change Ticket created and popped up and didn't have the parent link, but... the cause... when i clicked to close the parent ticket, i was prompted to hit save or cancel changes. I hit save and the parent link now shows up in the Change ticket.

So, I guess the parent ticket needs to be force saved in the code to make that a clean transition? Is that able to be done just prior to the child opening?

[avih75]

Good morning I see you spend some time.... Yes it able to save auto...

[avih75]

ok...so it's not supposed to autosave the parent if the parent is new because the creator of the parent needs to decide if he wants to save it or not.

so I added something.... if the parent is save all ready (got id actually) the child will be added and be saved. if not it just adds the child to the parent and waits for the save.

that's the maximum I think can be done.

enjoy it!
