We use the Create New Work Item Copy feature by clicking the button in the Web UI toolbar. When we do that we wish to copy certain fields to new work items, but rarely do we wish to copy all fields. (Otherwise we would need work item clone.) The p...

Configuring table as a work item attribute in RTC

There should be a ready-to-use, more user friendly way to represent table as a work item attribute. Currently, table can be created using wiki attribute. This expects users to be aware of the Wiki syntax. An XML or HTML like syntax will be more en...

Copy of a query should also copy 'Team and Project Area Sharing'

In EWM, I would like the team area to be copied as well when I select Save copy. I use an existing query to create other queries for my team. These are all used by the same team. Currently, I use save copy, then have to remember to go to the detai...

Ability to query EWM Code Review with status "abandoned"

Use an editor representation that simply shows the hours or the unit which has been selected when entering the value, but no random combination of arbitrary, not well-defined units.

"Time Estimate" and "Time Spend" are represented in the work item editor in an awkward format. Even specified in hours, it's represented in "days" and "weeks" depending on the value of hours entered. But weeks and days are no precise units and for...
