I am no TFS expert, but I use it regularly to work on tasks and I have created a couple custom queries in the Work Items section. Someone else handles deployments and they sometimes miss a task that was not associated with a Release.
So, I would like to create a custom query that returns tasks that are not "Included In Release", and by Project. I can't seem to find the right field(s) to filter on, or I am not filtering properly. So far, I have a clause for Project:
[And/Or] [Field] [Operator] [Value]
Project = project name
And a clause for:
[And/Or] [Field] [Operator] [Value]
And Work Item Type = Release Package
but that returns only items of Release Package work item type.
I think tasks are associated or linked to a release package work item, but don't know how to query on that.
Thx in advance.
BTW, this is my favorite custom TFS query:
[And/Or] [Field] [Operator] [Value]
Assigned To Was Ever @Me
As you may have guessed, this TFS query will return all items that were ever assigned to me.
UPDATE: This page has helped a lot: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/work/track/using-queries
Using the dropdown at top next to the Run button, I changed to "Work Items and Direct Links". This makes available a new section to "Filter for linked work items". And this is what I have built:
