Multi work items select can not edit(add) because edit would remove all previous values and only add the new value #299

Want to enable users to do multi work items update on a field with multi select capablity. at the moment any multi work item select and right click and choose edit >> then you try to update the multi select field. it would reset any pervious values to only the updated value

Amna56 commented 2 months ago

as you can see that the tags can be multi line has an add option on edit but for the multivalue edit (for Governed by field) it is only update so they would overwrite any previous values.

Hello again, I'm having trouble understanding what you want to achieve, and it seems we don't have an edit option for multi-value control. Please double-check that we are discussing the correct extension!

Hello, the edit option is avaliable for all workitems avaliable in the boards. you can select multiple workitems and choose to edit them all together. if i try to do this for a multivalue field it would overwrite any values that were already there. but it possible to have an an option to add values instead over writing the overwriting.

This behavior in Azure DevOps is by design and, unfortunately, cannot be prevented in the multivalue extension. As a third-party extension, we do not have control over the built-in edit tool's functionality.
