Why custom fields 'Alternate ID' and 'Alternate URL' defined in ADO are not visible in an ADO Test Manager Connect (TMC) collection?
Issue Description:
The following two custom fields added to the ADO project are unavailable in TMC ADO Collection dropdown:
-
'Alternate ID'
-
'Alternate URL'
On Tasktop Collections, Alternate Id and Alternate Url are not visible in the dropdown as shown below:
Resolution:
While creating a Process on Azure Devops, the Work Item Process selected should match the template from Process on which Custom fields are defined.
For eg: If you have selected Agile-TMC while creating a Project, define the custom fields on the same template under Process tab.
Prerequisites: Be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group, or have specific collection-level permissions Create process, Delete process, Edit process, or Delete a field from organization.
Note: If the project already exists, and only needs to change the type, then see step by step instructions here: Change a project process from Basic to Agile
-
Refresh the ADO collection in TMC to ensure the custom fields are visible under the work item.
-
Use the mapping tool to connect the two custom fields between ADO and UiPath Test Manager.
