Removing old entries from the Resolved in build field


Is it possible to remove entries in the 'Resolved in build' field for work items? I would really like to be able to remove some of the entries that got created when I was getting the build naming setup working the way I wanted it. I would also like to be able to remove entries once a release has gone out.

When we do a release, there is no need to have any of the builds related to that release as a potential value in the 'Resolved in build' field. If all of the builds that we do kept hanging around, that list would get very cumbersome of the course of a couple of months.

Is there a way to do this? Or is this list going to be growing indefinitely over time?

I apologize if this question has already been answered, but the only post I could find in relation to this dealt with preventing continuous integration builds from registering the build name in this field. It didn't have any answers as to removing existing entries.

Thanks,
Shane

I believe the build lists are stored as global lists internally so you may be able to use glexport and glimport (or the corresponding APIs) to extract the list, then modify it, and re-import it.

William is right, you can also use Process Template Editor from Imaginets to check the global lists in the server.

That worked. Thanks for the help on this.
