Error displayed with extension "Child Click Links" Azure DevOps

[Divya-EP]

Hi,

I am using Azure DevOps and I want few tasks to be created automatically, when I add a new user story with a tag “Backend”.

Steps to reproduce

1. I’ve created a custom process called CDI Agile and added a project under this process.
2. Under Project Settings -> Team Configuration -> Templates
3. I’ve added a new template for task “Unit Testing” with description { “applywhen”: [ { “System.Tags” : “Backend”, “System.WorkItemType”: “User Story” } ] } Such that when a new user story is created and we add a tag “Backend”, it should automatically create a child task “Unit Testing”
4. I’ve downloaded the “Click Child Links” extension.
5. When I create a new user story and provide a tag called “Backend” and when I open the user story, when I click on options -> Click child links, I am getting an error.

This is the error message that I am currently getting with Click Child Links.
