query for items with no children
Greetings,
Let's say you have two work item types, Epic and Story, where Epics, by definition are parents of Stories. Now let's say you have a policy which states that all Epics must be decomposed to have at least one child Story, and you want an easy way to enforce the policy. I can easily create an Epics query which displays children links. Of course, I can only define this query using the Web client, since the Eclipse client doesn't list the various links in the available columns, but I'm sure someone is already working on fixing that. This query is nice, but I'm greedy. I want to create another query which lists just those Epics which are violating my policy (i.e. they have no children). I can add a "Children exist" condition to my query, but there does not appear to be a "Children not exist" condition. Am I missing something or is RTC? Thanks, Alex Feinberg |

I can easily create an Epics query which displays children links. Of In the Eclipse UI, you can using the Relationships dialog (from the Work Item view's menu) to turn on the hierarchical mode that shows the children of the work items in the query. I agree that this should ahppen automatically when the link attributes are included as query columns. This query is nice, but I'm greedy. I want to create another query This functionality is not available in 1.0.1 but it is in 2.0 (starting with M3). -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |

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.
