TFS 2017 - Bug in summary tab of release management

Question

there appears to be a bug in the summary tab of the release management UI. The "Completed" time does not accurately reflect when the deployment status of a task is set to failed. The completed time in this instance is set to 8 hours ago, yet when the status of a task is set to succeeded, the completed time is set accurately. In the attached screen print the SQA - Manual Test was set to succeeded and the completed time of 18 minutes ago is accurate.

Does anyone know if this is truly a bug, or if I am misinterpreting what I am seeing?

Answer 1

Based on my test, both the succeeded and failed completed time are OK on myside. But the string " xx months/days/hours/minutes ago " in the UI is by designed. You can get the real time by hovering the mouse there.

Whatever, I have submitted an user voice here to suggest the feature you mentioned : " We need to have this accurately reflected in the UI without hovering your mouse over the Completed time. " You can go and vote it to achieve that in future.
