Bug status in Team System

In Team System, is there a way to edit the fields under Status?

For example Priority is a status that shows up with numbers. I would like to be able to modify it so the number displays something else, 1-cosmetic, 2 -minor/work around, etc...

thanks,
aaron

Do you mean as test attributes or within the bug Tracking system?

In Team System when you add a new bug there is a area called status which has a number of parameters such as Assigned To, Priority, State, Reason and Triage.

We want to be able to edit the information in the drop-down boxes. For example under Priority there are numbers. We want to be able to add text next to the numbers.

thanks,

aaron,

I think it would be problematic to change the field content. I tried to do so but the field is defined as an Integer field. You could change it if it where a string, but the dropdown will only show allowed values and I did not find a way yet to let the dropdown show other text then the allowed values for the field. (like in a normal dropdown would be possible with the text and value field)

You can of course decide to create your own custom field and use that one on the form. If you would like to do this, then you would need to go trough the information in the extensibility kit as I did to edit the xml files so they reflect your work item type exactly as you like.

You can find the extensibility kit at http://www.vsipdev.com/downloads
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. I downloaded the extensibility kit and the "Authoring Work Items Types Lab" has great information.

thanks again,

Sorry it took me a while to respond. Check out this site. It gives information on customizing work items. I basically downloaded the .xml file, made changes and imported back to team system with the changes.

Hi

How do I download the file and which file I need to download?

If the file doesn't exists then what do I need to do?

Thanks
