How to change default "assigned to" of bug workitem (TF...


If a TFS Build failed a bug work item is created. Currently the "assigned to" field is initialized with the technical account used for the TFS application pool.

Is it possible to specify an account to assigne it to?

You can use the WorkItemFieldValues property in TfsBuild.proj to modify the values of any arbitrary field in the work item created on a build break, including the "Assigned To" field. Check out TfsBuild.proj, add something like: Assigned To=<account name>; to this property, check TfsBuild.proj back in, and you should be all set.

Hello,

There is very nice post by Steve St. Jean that describes several additional gotchas.

Hi Aaron, thanks for your help. This was the trick. It is working now with "Assigned To=<Accountname>" - where <Accountname> is exactly the display name like it apears in the Assigned To drop downl list box. In my case this is "<Firstname> <Lastname>".
