Work Item Types

Work item type is a container for the work item. You can use types to group your work items together in a way that makes sense for your team or company. I.E. If the work item or to fix some defect in your code base, then “Bug” would make sense as the work item type.

By default, FlexDeploy will come with “Feature”, “Bug”, “Debt”, and “Risk” types out of the box. You can choose to use to keep using those types or scrap them and create your own.

Work Item Fields

Work Item Fields are used to provide additional information to your work item. To create a field:

  1. Select a Work Item Field Group or create a new one. The name of the field group will display after the “Commits” section when viewing a work item.

  2. Create a new field.

  3. Customize the field with various parameters and/or groovy validations. This is the definition of the field, while the value is set on the work item.

...

There are many options in the field available. It is important to note that “Work Item Types” is the list of types this field will be applied to. Additionally, if the field has “Required” enabled, then the work item in question must have this field set for the status to be changed.
