Add a new editable field for the tfs work item

Question

I am editing an existing type of work item, which we called "Requirement". To do this, I want to add an additional row field so that we can edit the value, search and sort.

Using the TFS process editor, I can edit the type of the Requirement element in the GUI. Opening this, I created a field modeled after an existing field. Then I open the Layout tab and add this new field to the layout.

When I open an existing Requirement work item, a label appears for the new field, but the control does not edit the value.

I can’t understand what I’m missing. Can someone guide me, what missing step do you like?

Thanks!

Answer 1

On the Fields tab, do you set the type of the new field to String? On the Layout tab, did you set the Type property of the FieldControl?
