I have a multiple dashboards and I want to list them to come under one specific application. How to classify this dashboards ?
If you want to create a dropdown menu with your dashboards go to Settings » User interface » Navigation menus and edit the default app navigation
Use a collection to group your views under the same drop-down. Well, instead of alerts, reports, datasets fill in the names of dashboards from your app.
<collection label="My Custom Category" >
<view name="alerts" />
<view name="reports" />
<view name="datasets" />
</collection>

I added a TFS group [Projects]\Business Analysts. Some of the people assigned to this group do not show up in the dropdown. Anyone know why this would happen?
Additionally, when I access the AssignedTo field from the context menu on the backlog page the names are completely different than those on the Product Backlog AssignedTo List.
Here is work item definition for the group:
<FIELD name="Assigned To" refname="System.AssignedTo" type="String" syncnamechanges="true" reportable="dimension">
<ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE />
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups">
<LISTITEM value="[Project]\Business Analysts" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<HELPTEXT>Organizer of product feature</HELPTEXT>
</FIELD>
Are the people that are not showing up part of the project in any way? Did you put the full group inside one of the OOB groups (contributors, Admins, etc.) or in a team in this project. If the missing individual don't have access to the project they won't show up in the dropdowns this rule doesn't add them to the project just filter user in that group in the assigned to field.
Some of the people assigned to this group do not show up in the
dropdown.
The drop down is actually a cached list of users you have assigned tasks to in the past.
So, you just need enter their first name or email address to search him and assign to him. Next time, you will see him in the drop down list.
Details steps:
When assigning a user to a task, enter their first name and click the search button. The user should be brought back by the search. Assign the user to the task.
Next time you go to assign a user to a task, if you click on the drop down list should now display the user as it is now cached.
For details please take a look at Ewald Hofman's response in this question: TFS-2015 limiting user list
If you still not able to see those users after manually search their name/e-mail, then you may have to check the corresponding permission. Make sure all of them have sufficient permissions.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to restrict users from editing a field in TFS based on a user? For example suppose there is a state field and owner field. The user selected in the owner field should only be allowed to updated the state field, it should be readonly to rest of the users.
You can define a rule of a field to achieve it.
Just edit the process template and make the field only editable by Admins. (You may need to install the power tools or use witexport and a good XML editor to do all the work)
<FIELD refname="System.Description" name="Description" type="PlainText">
<READONLY for="[Project]\Contributors" not="[Project]\Project Collection Administrators" />
</FIELD>
More info from MSDN: Apply a rule to a work item field
Restrict modification of a field to a group of users:
Use not to exclude a group from a rule. This example defines the Triage Description field as read-only for everyone except those users in the Triage Committee group.
<FIELD name="Triage Description">
<READONLY not="[Project]\Triage Committee" />
</FIELD>
Update
You can also add some restriction during the transition of two state. Please see below steps and screenshot for more info.
Detail steps:
Open the Work Item Type from server(need tfs power pools)
Right click the transition select 'open details'
Select for or not, add the owner to a group, if you select this group. The user in this group can only be allowed to updated the state field.
I have a TFS form, where I need to set a field as required based on two fields when the state changes to closed.
<STATE value ="Closed">
<FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.T1">
<WHENNOT field="Microsoft.VSTS.T2" value="Yes">
<REQUIRED />
</WHENNOT>
</FIELD>
</STATE>
The above code works fine, when T2 is Yes, T1 is required. However, I need to add the following condition : When T2 is Yes and T3 is not NA, then T1 should be Required. Else it should not.
I know nested conditions are not allowed in TFS, but is there a work around for this?
You are right that nested conditions are not allowed in TFS, but TFS allows customer develop controls to be hosted in work item form. Those controls can implement various business logics or add additional functionality to work with the workitemform. You need to customize a work item control to achieve your requirement.

I have created a simple UI5 application which consists of a Table.
The problem is that this table shows data only when I run the application on ABAP Server on other servers, ie. Tomcat or Web App Preview in eclipse it doesn't work. I also tried this application with other open oData services but the table shows no result.
Secondly the table show the data and after it continue to scroll down the data and there comes empty fields from above and data disappears to the down.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Most likely you will be helped with disabeling the same origin policy in google chrome. See:
Disable same origin policy in Chrome.

That usually happened to me when I didn't map the correct field to the "Items" of the table.
You must check both the capitalization and the path of the item in your model.
Here is a short example :
<Table id="idMaterialsList2"
items="{SalesOrder>/Items/results}">
<columns>
<Column>
<Text text="{i18n>Order_product}" />
</Column>
</columns>
<items>
<ColumnListItem type="Navigation">
<ObjectIdentifier
title="{SalesOrder>Product}"
text="{SalesOrder>Description}"/>
</ColumnListItem>
</items>
</Table>
a) Check "items="{SalesOrder>/Items/results}"" the path
b) Check the names of the elements you want to show ""{SalesOrder>Product}""
If a is correct and b is wrong you will have an empty table with X lines where X = SalesOrder>/Items/results.length.
If a is wrong you will see nothing.
Try :)
Work items fields like "Assigned To" in TFS show way too many users by default. I understand I can limit this by editing the WIT to be more project or group specific like with the following:
<FieldDefinition name="Assigned To" refname="System.AssignedTo" type="String" syncnamechanges="true" reportable="dimension">
<ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE />
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups">
<LISTITEM value="[project]\Contributors" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<HELPTEXT>The person currently working on this bug</HELPTEXT>
</FieldDefinition>
This helps, but I'm using a structure where all projects are located in a single Team Project, so the user list is still much too large.
Is there a way to populate a string drop down (like "Assigned To") based on team, similar to how area and iteration paths populate based on what team you are creating work items under?
No this kind of customisation is not possible with TFS.
Once you have your work broken down by area and iteration, it should be easy enough to view on the backlog when planning work who will take what and if anything is assigned to someone who's not on the team.
