How do I get tasks linked to a story to show up in a specific order in a work item template?
Using RTC 6.0.4, on Windows.
I created a user story with tasks linked to it. I want the tasks to be in a specific order, so I was very careful when creating the work item template such that the tasks linked to the story would be in a certain order. When I use the template, it creates the first task first, but all other tasks are created in reverse order. For example, if I have task 1, task 2, task 3, and task 4, then the User story created by the template has the task linked in this order:
Task 1
Task 4
Task 3
Task 2
Short of editing the XML for the work item template, is there a way to ensure that a work item template create work items in a specific order?
Accepted answer
No. I think it is generally accepted that the only way to ensure a work item template creates work items in a specific order is by actually editing the template and ordering yourself.
