I'm trying to subscribe to a WorkItemChanged event with a filter expression that uses custom fields -- without success.

I've been using Naren's handy tool from: http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/07/26/679440.aspx rather than bissubscribe.exe directly.

"System" fields (title, area...) work fine, but no email arrives when I use other fields, including both "Microsoft.VSTS" fields and my own custom fields.

Do only System fields work?

Must I write a web-service extension to check other fields?

Thanks,

OK, good to know that. However, from this I gather that if I use a filter on a field like Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority, I should receive emails when that field changes (likewise for my own custom fields). I'm not seeing that. The only fields that make emails fly for me are System.* fields. What am I missing here?
