Create Azure Rule to automate process between parent and child work items
I could not find any documentation on how to automate the process between parent and child work item using rules. Here are my issues:
*Added a new flag to the task work item in order to be flip by the automation process with state T/F
*The automated process would watch for Bug to flip into the status Ready, and also the child task would the flag flipped into T.
At present, there aren't any parent/child work-item process rules. There is a community suggestion for this and it's apparently listed in the Azure DevOps roadmap 2023 Q2.
- As of October 23 - this is in private preview: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2023/sprint-228-update
Do you have any example on how to use Power Automate (office365) or Logic Apps (Azure), for work item flow automation.
Im using this GitHub - microsoft/azure-boards-automate-state-transitions: Automate state transitions of parent work items based on child work item changes but having issues.
Thanks
- The link given is C# project that manages the work items using the ADO API. I would forget about it as it is too complex and the repo is archived.
There are lot of action/triggers for Azure DevOps on Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate. Here you can see an example for Power Automate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK86TLZQw9A&t=411s
And here an example for Logic App: https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/devops/tools/automating-azure-devops-logic-apps/
