Tasks with parents that appear under Unparented in TFS 2015

Question

After migrating to TFS 2015, I have many tasks that appear in Unparented in the Backlog for the current iteration. However, these tasks have parents. Performing each task, it seems that all parent stories are user stories in active or deleted states. Solved user stories are displayed very well with their tasks. How can I make Active and Resolved User Stories appear lagging behind their tasks?

Answer 1

It turns out that I had to change the configuration of the process and add Active, Removed, and several other states to the <States> section of the <RequirementBacklog> section.

B:

 witadmin exportprocessconfig ... 

to export the configuration, edited it in notepad

 witadmin importprocessconfig 

to import update configuration

Answer 2

You can track incomparable tasks similarly to other tasks or drag them to an existing lag item for their parent . An unlimited map keeps track of the total remaining work defined for all incomparable tasks, however, it is not associated with any work item.

Answer 3

We show parental User Stories if they meet these rules:

• it must be new, active, authorized, or closed. We do not show deleted user stories
• it must be in the area used by the team.

My suspicion is that the second requirement is false. There is a button on the toolbar that says “Create a request”, which gives you a request, which we use to get data for the taskbar for further debugging, if necessary.
