TFS2010 Work Item Customization - dynamically Increment count in field

Question

Hi,

i am trying to customize the Bug work item for my project. the requirement is whenever the state changes to Re-open , we track the count in a field to see how many times the bug was reopened.

each time someone changes the state to Reopen , the count in "Reopen count" field increments by 1.

is this possible to do ?

Thanks and Regards

Renu

Hi Renu,

Thanks for your post!

I think you can write Custom Work Item Control to implement it.  

Please refer to Ruiz's blog about it: http://www.cnblogs.com/Ruiz/archive/2009/10/01/1577217.html

For more information, you can refer to

Hope it helps!

It doesnt help. I am trying to do the same thing and would rather avoid using custom controls. I suppose the question should be: "can we increment a counter by creating a field and use rules".
