Iterations Structure and Report Data

Question

We are using TFS 2010 and have the following Iteration Structure:

 

Iteration

  Iteration 0

  Iteration 1

  Iteration 2

  Iteration 3

  Iteration 4

  Iteration 5

  Iteration 6

  Iteration 7

  Iteration 8

  Iteration 9

  Iteration 10

  Iteration 11

  Iteration 12

  Iteration 13

  Iteration 14

  Iteration 15

  Iteration 16

  Iteration 17

  Iteration 18

  Iteration 19

  Iteration 20

  Iteration 21

  Iteration 22

  Iteration 23

  Iteration 24

  Iteration 25

  Iteration 26

  Iteration 27

  3.0

    Iteration 1

    Iteration 2

 

Iteration 1 - 27 are not being used, the actual iterations being used start at 3.0 so we have a nested structure:

Iteration

  Iterations 1 -27

  3.0

     Iterations 1 - 2

We are not able to select 3.0 or any iterations under it in any of the SQL Report Iteration fields but we can select them in Query Iteration fields.  I know this is a wacky structure (obviously inherited) but can someone tell me why we are not able to select the iterations under 3.0 in the Report Iteration field?

Hi billiej,

Thank you for your post.

According to your description of the issue, i suppose the issue you are experiencing is you can set value for Iteration field in work item query, but can not select value for Iteration field in Reports as below screen shot shows.

I have simulated this issue as your scenario, everything is all right. In order to narrow down the issue, can you help me to figure out follow things.
1. Screen shot or log of this issue.
2. Did 3.0 and any iterations under it could be seen but could not select in the drop down list, or could not be seen in the drop down list?
If I have misunderstood anything, please free feel to let me know.

Best Regard
