I need to create rules for work items that will check for special characters in the fields. I need to ban all special characters like (@&*()^%$)
etc. TFS supports this?
How can I do it?
How to create rules for work items in TFS 2018 and TFS 2019?
I am afraid TFS 2018 and TFS 2019 do not yet support such fine rule restrictions.
According to the document Add a rule to a work item type (Inheritance process), we could to know the conditions and actions currently supported by the Workitem rule:
Obviously, we could not check all special characters for the fields at this moment, even if we use the conditions The value of (...equals)
, since what we need is The value of (...exclude)
.
