To clear a field in Azure DevOps on a weekly basis, you can automate the process in a few ways

1. Azure DevOps REST API:
You can write a script using the REST API to clear the field automatically. This script can be scheduled to run weekly. The API lets you update work items programmatically.

 

2. Power Automate:
Use Power Automate to set up a scheduled flow that clears the field every week. This can trigger the necessary updates.

 

3. Azure DevOps Pipeline:
Create a pipeline that runs weekly. This pipeline can use PowerShell or Azure CLI tasks to interact with the REST API and clear the field.
