Help!How to create custom work item type field

  Thank you for your reply.

  I don't know how to define 'YourCompany.Remark' in TFS

  So you basically would have to set the value of the 'refname' Xml attribute to the unique field-reference-name. For example:

  <FIELD refname="MyCompany.MyProject.Remark" name="Remark" type="String" >
  <!-- Field Help Text and Rules go here -->
  </FIELD>

  Notice that the refname cannot be 'System.Title' since that is the refname of a core field that all work item types will always have out of the box.

  If you find this answer helpful, please mark it likewise. If not, I'll try my best to help you reach your solution.

  Thanks,

  Hey there,

  The Reference name of a field is its only unique identifier. Therefore, existing reference names cannot be reused for a new field. 'System.Title' is a reference name for the 'Title' Core field - this means that all work item types will always have the 'System.Title' field and therefore no other new field may have the same name.

  Reference names must have a '.' (period) in them. So something like 'YourCompany.Remark' or 'YourCompany.Summary' should work fine.

  Thanks,
  Karthik
