问题:

Work item tags were introduced in TFS 2012 Update 2 as a new feature for Team Web Access.

Is there a way, even a work around, so that the tags can be displayed/edited in the TFS Client?

Even if it was just a semicolon separated textbox would be sufficient.

回答1:

This is currently only available through Web Access. The Team Foundation Server / Visual Studio Team is looking into adding this to other clients as well. The following Visual Studio User Voice items with Product Team Comments hint towards it being released in the future:

Allow querying work items by 'Tag'
Import tags via excel
work item Tag

Here is a rudimentary workaround. Add the following to your work item template.

<FORM>
  <Layout HideReadOnlyEmptyFields="true" HideControlBorders="true">
    <Group Margin="(4,0,0,0)">
      <Column PercentWidth="100">
...    
      <Control FieldName="System.Tags" Type="FieldControl" Label="Tags" LabelPosition="Left" />
...
      </Column>
    </Group>
  </Layout>
</FORM>

This will add a read-only field in the client and on the web as well (unfortunately).
