I am using Visual Studio Team Services and wanted to customise my Task work item to display a field based on value from picklist, i.e. if a specific value is selected then display another field which will be mandatory.
If this is not achievable then I guess i can always create a new task template specifically for this but it seems like overkill? Anyone done this?
There is not support for conditional display of fields in the inheritance-based process template customization experience. Support is planned, however.

We are looking for a way to add a custom field as filter option in the Feature board.
Currently the Feature board shows Assigned To, Iteration, Work Item Type, Tags and Parent Work Item as filter options.
We would like to be able to filter on our release field.
I am not able to find a way to achieve this, can you confirm if this is indeed locked down ? or is there a way we can edit these fields to filter on ?

Unfortunately, there is no way to customize the Filter cards. I have submitted a User Voice at website below, you can vote it:

I'm configuring our JIRA in that I want to make a new field configuration to configure a new project.
I'm currently going through a lot of fields, and would like to know the following:
If I remove a field from a screen in the FieldConfiguration, does that affect only my field configuration, or everyone in JIRA using that screen?
I'm sorry if I cannot describe it clearer, but basically I want to know if I break anything by removing the screen links in my Field Configuration.
Reason: I have fields assigned to 20 screens and dont want to keep scrolling through this the whole time.
I assume you mean hiding a field from FieldConfiguration. Since removing fields is done in the Custom Fields section.
When you hide a field it affects only your specific Field Configuration (note than more than one Issue Type from multiple projects can associate with a Field Configuration, this is probably not your case, since your are testing a new Field Configuration. But just keep that in mind).
The action that "Hide" is doing is like "forcefully" removing that field from all screens associated with tickets which use that Field Configuration.

is there a way to hide the content of a field based on a role?
I thought about creating a serverside plugin which empties the field if the user does not have permission to view the field and repopulate it on save. But I don't know how to do this, I did not find any event which I could use. Any idea?
My first intent was to use the EMPTY rule but this really clears the content and does not repopulate it. Also the READONLY rule is not acceptable for us. Do you have any idea?
I know this was already requested http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2088177-add-ability-to-hide-mask-fields-in-a-work-item-bas but I need the functionality now.
I also thought about creating a workitem where the hidden fields are stored in and linking it to the other work item but this is not the solution I want ...
The only way to do this is by creating a custom work item control. That control can then only display the contents of the value if the user has the correct permissions. What it does not prevent though is to see/update the data via other tools like Excel, Work Item Query or Bulk Update.
As the suggestion on User Voice suggests, it is not possible today in TFS. So please vote and make sure the Team Foundation Server team knows it is high priority for a lot of our customers.

In VS 2013 when u use the Empty Rule, the field disappear! You can see that in Scrum Template when you change de WIT state to Done the Remaining Work field are hidden
I am using the TFS 2010 Scrum template and want to modify the Task work item template so that I can display the PBI's backlog priority (read only).
I am familiar with editing the process templates, but not sure I can setup a field to pull data from another work item
There are no rules available to get data from other work items. If you want to do this, you can either use the eventing service (which is a service that is invoked on work item save for example) or you can create a custom work item control.
I want to write an application that assigns Fogbugz cases programmatically, how would I accomplish this? Is it possible to achieve this given any of the following scenarios:
The user enters text in my
application's input field and the
Fogbugz report is opened in the
browser where the "note" field is
populated with the text from the user
input
The fogbugz report is assigned to the
specified user in the application
without the browser even being opened
i.e. the report is stored directly in
the DB.
I'm planning to add default values to the other fields as well so I would assume the process would be the same for adding text to the "note" field.
You can do this with the Fogbugz API. See the heading "Editing Cases" for the specifics on how to edit a case (which includes creating a new one). It's a little complicated (or perhaps just oddly designed) but, as I remember, you basically have to call cmd=new if you want to create a new case, supply your text in the 's' parameter and set the ixPersonAssignedTo to the correct person. For an existing case, use cmd=edit.
This is possible both with a regular form posted to your Fogbugz installation and some server side code that calls the API.
You might want to write a plugin for FB and allow others to use it. (share it or sell it)
