Creating a highly customized Work Item in Azure DevOPs through the API using C#

Question

I would like to programmatically create Work Items using the Azure DevOps API from a web application. There are many resources on this like this one , so I have an idea on how to achieve it. What I'm uncertain about is how to assign values to highly customized fields using the.Net client. We've added a lot of custom drop downs and fields.

Answer 1

The customized field is defined in the path /fields/Custom.CustomFieldName .

For example, i have a custom field named Fix Version . I can assign value to it by referring to the path in below patchDocument:

new JsonPatchOperation()
    {
         Operation = Operation.Add,
         Path = "/fields/Custom.FixVersion",
         Value = "1.2.0.0"
     }

You can get all the WIT Fields in your project using Method WorkItemTrackingHttpClientBase.GetFieldsAsync . See client library here .

You can aslo check out Fields - List restful api.
