How can I roll up / calculate dates based on in items linked "contributors"
Hi,
I have a task with date fields StartDate and EndDate. The task has subtasks linked via contributes/tracks. The subtasks also has StartDate and EndDate.
How can I make the "parent" task to automatically have the earliest date from it's "child" tasks StartDates in its own StartDate and for EndDate vice versa?
Hence:
Task1 StartDate: 1/1/1900 EndDate: 1/12/1900
\- tracks -> Task2 StartDate: 1/1/1900 EndDate 1/9/1900
\- tracks -> Task3 StartDate: 3/3/1900 EndDate 1/12/1900
StartDate and EndDate of Task1 should be automatically caluclated/rolled up.
Thanks for any hints.

https://jazz.net/library/article/1152 explains what the tracks links are for.
There s no roll-up capability I am aware of for tracks links. The start and end date are not work item attributes and not accessible with the work item API. Because of that and some other constraints, I am not aware that this would even possible to create this as an extension.
