• anup_am Modifying Field Reportable setting

  In the Authoring Work Item Types document included in the October SDK it mentions that: " Once a field is reported on, users cannot disable reporting on that field in Beta 3.   For the full (RTM) release, a utility will be available for administering fields and disabling reporting on those fields." I created a work item field and forgot to set reportable="dimension". Is there any known workaround for adding this setting after a proces ...Show All

• Skitter Team Explorer Bug - Get Latest on Check-out

  I consider it a bug that Team Explorer does not fetch the latest version of a file when the client selects to check it out for edit. There should be at least an option in settings to enable/diable this. Editing out-of-date files is getting old. That's my 2 cents. The graphical merge tool is borrowed from VSS...you won't offend any TFS developers by criticizing it ;-) But so long as two people don't edit the same part of the file, you s ...Show All

• Adam Wagman TFS b3 refresh Client install question

  We are running TFS beta 3 and are considering installing the refresh so we can use it against the SQL Server RTM build.  Does anybody know if we need to install new client software.  We currently have the clients installed from the beta 3 package on top of the RTM of Visual Studio 2005. If there is nothing to gain from a new client install I think we'd rather leave them as they are if it's not going to be a problem. Any advice ...Show All

• tao84 Do we get any CAL with TFS Standard?

  According to Rob Caron's post, ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2006/03/16/553121.aspx ), Workgroup edition will only give us 5 licences, and if I have 15 developers, all with MSDN licences, I will have 15 licences for TFS server, but I still have to purchase TFS Standard edition in order to have all 15 of my developers access the same server. Sure seems like there should be a better way to do this. Like, for instance, everyone who buys ...Show All

• alfredkoo Work Item - Title vs Summary (Redundant?)

  I find myself just repeating in the summary what I put in for the title.  These two fields seem redundant.  What am I missing here   How are they supposed to be used Once we've fixed it and you've tried it for a while I'd be interested in more feedback.  In our own use of it we've found the two fields go hand in hand very well.  The Repro steps are generally entered once and don't chan ...Show All
