how the tool determines whether "insert workitem link" to become a link type or a string?
![]()
In RTC 4.0.x web client, when I insert workitem link within a task/defect description/discussion, if the workitem is from other project area, the inserted link could become a simple string. For example, in formal project management PA, if I add a defect type of workitem from a Scrum PA, it will show as "task xxx" and it is a link and I can see the popup when hovering on it. If it is Epic or Story, then it will show just string "Story xxx" and I won't be able to see the real link to that work item. It seems to be that whether the PA where I insert work item link has the target project area's work item type is the key. Is that how RTC determines whether to inserted workitem link will become a link or not?
If I don't see the inserted work item link working as a link, is there any way I can make it work? (only by adding new work item type)? We have got report from the users that some link is not stable, that is, it could be link today and then become string only next day after server restarting. I could not reproduce the issue here but want to know what are the keys to determine the inserted workitem link to be a real link and see if we may find some clues from there. Thanks |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
