Hierarchical work items

Hi all

I played a little with the work items in VSTS and I wondering if it is possible to define hierarchical work items. This would be a feature that I need for shore. I saw that there is an "Add related work item" menu, but using this is not really giving me the hierarchical feeling that I need. Is there a way to define hierarchical work items?

Regards.
George.

We don't have inbuilt support for hierarchical work items in v1. We are currently working on providing this ability in next release.

You could work around it by using a Parent field to WIT definition to build a hierarchy. If you really want the support you could build it using our linking extensibility but this will be quite a bit of work.

Thanks,

Mohammad

Thanks Mohammad, I will try to build a parent field because the other solution is to complicated, at least now (I'm new to TFS and VSTS).
