Work Item template not setting Estimate field

I have set up a work item template in a 2.0.0.2 project that has several Tasks with an Estimate set. When we create a new set of tasks with "Create from Template", the tasks created don't have the Estimate value included.

Is this a bug or a setup problem? Any idea how I get that value included?

Thanks for the help,
Julie Rotter

Hello Julie,

attributes of type 'Duration' are not supported in work item templates in
RTC2.0.0.2. Values of unsupported attributes are simply ignored and not
included when capturing/instantiating a template. RTC3.0 will be the first
release that supports the complete set of work item attributes.

Regards,
Jan.

Jan, Is there a way to include Approvals in the template? In trying to create a template from a task with Approvals, the Approvals weren't created in tasks created from the template.

I take it this isn't available either? Is it being considered for 3.0 as well?

Thanks!

Full template support for all work item attributes, including approvals,
will be available in 3.0.

Jan.

One more follow-up question related here: Will 3.0 include attachments in templates? So, if a story has a file attachment, for instance, that would be included in the template.

Thanks once again!
