How to auto-set Azure work item assigned to the developer on close


Our department would like to have a bar/pie chart of "how many tickets completed by developer." It looks like the only Identity field Azure allows on this widgets is the "assigned to" field.

However, as the work item moves from development to test to release, several people need to get assigned to it, and by the time it is closed, it is no longer assigned to the person who worked the ticket.

Now, there is a field "Activated By" which would hold the correct information, and I'd like to use it. I considered potentially making a rule like this in our process:

But it doesn't seem to let you set values. Anyone know of something to make this automatic?


Solution

  • If you want to add Activated by to a query chart, you need to add it to the query columns:

    Then use it in your chart:
