Change filter element layout on Query board
Hi, Is it possible to extend the filter specified with red rectangle in the screenshot with the same functionality and change the layout element i.e. instead of it being a multi-select dropdown t...
Below the workarounds you may consider:
- Custom Extension via Azure DevOps Extension SDK
You can build a custom extension using the Azure DevOps Extension SDK:
- Create a custom tab in the Query Results view.
- Render the board using Work Item Query APIs.
- Implement your own Assignee filter UI with arrow navigation or keyboard support.
- This gives you full control over layout and interaction.
- Use a Dashboard Widget
If you don’t need full interactivity, you could:
- Create a dashboard widget that visualizes query results as a board.
- Add a custom filter control (e.g., dropdown, slider) using JavaScript.
- This won’t replace the native board view, but can offer a tailored experience.
- Keyboard Navigation via Browser Extensions
- Use a browser extension like Tampermonkey to inject JavaScript into the Azure DevOps UI.
- Override the Assignee filter behavior to respond to arrow keys.
- This is fragile and unsupported—but can work for personal use.
