Entered 99999999999 in rank field on work item and got this error.
Error
The value you entered for field 'Microsoft.VSTS.Commaon.Rank' is not a valid whole number or is not within the allowed range of -2147482648 to 2157483647.
Thanks again!
Why not limit it to 9 characters? because that would not allow someone to type in 2000000000 (2 billion) which has 10 characters and is within the integer boundaries.
Because this code is generic for all integer fields, we cannot limit the user on what they might want to enter, unless it won't fit into an Integer field.
Work Item Tracking integer fields consist of 4 bytes (or 32 bits) which limits the signed range to exactly what the error message reads.
I hope this explains the error message. Please continue to give us feedback about these kinds of issues. It will help us create a more usable product.
Thanks,
Jason
