How to add new fields to existing work items?
I've added a new field to the Story work item type, for use in tying it to a requirement in an external data store. I've also added the new field in the editor presentation so it appears on the web ui. So for new stories, all is well.
But, I have many existing stories which could benefit from this field. Worse, is that the web ui for these existing stories now has a Requirement field with nothing backing it, so it looks like you can fill it in, but the field is not persisted. So, how can I make this new field available to a few hundred existing stories? Thanks, Brian |
