In this tutorial, I will be customizing Azure DevOps Process to add new field in a task that can be used as additional attribute with data that are stored to a task work item.
Why You Need to Customize the Process
In many cases, Development team under the umbrella of small to large company uses modified traditional process in software development processes, these modifications are usually important performance indicators to describe project facts.
Prerequisites
- Azure DevOps Subscription (You can subscribe for free Basic Plan if you don't have one)
- A Project Created in Azure DevOps with Agile Process Template
Lets Get Started
Navigate to Organization Settings page and then Click the Process link under Boards section. The page should display all available process. Click the ellipsis to Create inherited process.
A modal pop-up will gonna ask for a new process name and you will be redirected to the summary of of Work Item Types.
To Customize the Task work item type, click the Task link to display the Task field layout.
This layout page allows you to create a New field, New group and page, that can be displayed on the task within your project. On this example, I created "Work Date" with Date/Time data type.
