When using PowerShell to retrieve information from TFS, I find that I can get standard fields, but not "Custom" fields. I'm not sure that custom is the right term, but, for example, if I look at the Process Editor in VS2008 and edit the type of the work item, there are fields like the ones listed below with the name, type and name Ref:
Title String System.Title
State String System.State
Rev Integer System.Rev
Changed By String System.ChangedBy
I can access them using Get-TfsItemHistory:
Get-TfsItemHistory "$/path" -Version "D01/12/10~" -R
| Select -exp WorkItems | Format-Table Title, State, Rev, ChangedBy -Auto
So far so good.
However, there are other fields in the WorkItem type that I call the Custom or Non-Systemic fields, for example:
Activated By String Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ActivatedBy
Resolved By String Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ResolvedBy
And the following command does not retrieve data, just spaces.
Get-TfsItemHistory "$/path" -Version "D01/12/10~" -R
| Select -exp WorkItems | Format-Table ActivatedBy, ResolvedBy -Auto
, , . "" ?
UPDATE:
:
Get-TfsItemHistory "$/Hermes/Main" -Version "D01/12/10~" -Recurse `
| Select ChangeSetId, Comment -exp WorkItems `
| Select ChangeSetId, Comment, @{n='WI-Id'; e={$_.Id}}, Title -exp Fields `
| Where {$_.ReferenceName -eq 'Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ResolvedBy'} `
| Format-Table ChangesetId, Comment, WI-Id, Title, @{n='Resolved By'; e={$_.Value}} -Auto
:
WorkItem WI-Id , Id .
" " "".
