I visited this question on StackOverflow, but there was no proper answer fulfilling the need.
Currently, in the TFS iteration board, the tasks of user stories can be dragged for changing state.
But, I have user stories, only some which have tasks while others do not have.So, in the TFS iteration board I need only User Stories to show, which can be dragged from one state to another.
Is there a way we can update the template accordingly?
Or any other way?
This can't be achieved by now. You can add a feature request in User Voice.

How can I see the Epic related with the user story on the own user story?
Is there option on TFS of Microsoft?
Epics are hierarchically above Features. Features are mapped to Epics, like user story items are mapped to Features.
There is no way to directly see the Epic through the own user story itself. However, as a workaround, you can LINK work items and you can display them as a Tree List,see it through a backlog.
Also have a check of this link for further information on how to use TFS to support epics, release trains, and multiple backlogs: Implement Scaled Agile Framework® to support epics, release trains, and multiple backlogs
In Jira, there's the "Active Sprint" view. You can expand/collapse all User Stories and Bugs to see the Sub-Tasks (that need to be done in order to close the bug/user story).
I would like to have a (quick) filter there to see which Bugs or User Stories I can work on. The requirement is that ALL Sub-Tasks of the Bug / User Story are still open.
Is that possible at all? A solution with multiple filters using each other would be fine too.
UPDATE: In other words, the filter should remove all Bugs / User Stories, along with their Sub-Tasks, that have at least 1 Sub-Task, that is not "open"
Thanks!
Suppose i have some set of tasks say:-
Analysing Code.
Coding.
Exception Handling.
View Integration
Deployment.
Bug Fixing.
How do i bulk create the same set of tasks under multiple user stories as its respective child objects?
Eg:- say i have
45678,45679,45670,45671,45672 as my user stories.
If i manually create the 6 listed tasks to the 1st user story, then how can i bulk create the same set of tasks to all other user stories as child objects?
There is no automation out of the box for this.
You can use excel to copy/paste the tasks as children of PBI's. There are also some third party tools out there that can do what you want. I built the TFS Event Handler in 2008 for an organization but have not had much call for it since.

The reason I don't get much call for this sort of thing is that if you need it, then you are doing something wrong. Your list above is something that would make a lot more sense on a definition of done than a task list. If this was the DOD then the tasks should be the development teams plan to get them done...
Why is "Unassigned" the only option available from the TFS 2013 agile task board? Why don't I see a list of team members. I have assigned team members to the team project. Also, if I open the task to get at all of the details, the Assigned To field has a list of all the users I would expect to be able to select from the agile board view.
Here's a screenshot of the Agile board where I am trying to assign the task to someone, but only see "Unassigned." I also cannot type in the field.
In my experience, this was related to capacity. For each sprint, you can set the number of hours per day and days off per user. I found that if a user was given 0 hours capacity for the sprint, they would not appear in the drop-down on the task board.
I think you don't have right in order to access your members, i suggest you to access security section in your Web Portal, check your Group and permissions associated.
try with administator group which have all permissions
This is late to the party, but in my experience this is because the drop down from the task board item view only includes team members which already have assigned tasks on the board (unless you set capacity, as above). If you edit the task by double clicking on it you can assign whoever, and then that person will appear on the drop downs for all other tasks on the board.
Our team is getting started with using user stories for gathering requirements. We are experiencing some confusion about how they should be mapped to tasks. It seems we have several user stories that describes different aspects of the same fundamental development task. For example...
User stories:
As an XYZ user, I want to enter targets into a form, so that I can track progress towards them
As an XYZ user, I want to only be able to enter positive integers for a target, so that I can't enter erroneous data
As an XYZ user, I want to filter on available targets, so that I can focus only on particular ones
Task:
Develop a form for entering targets with validation and filtering
The problem here is that we are using TFS which prevents a development task from having multiple parents. Presumably this is because we are getting this approach wrong somehow in the first place.
Can anyone please suggest how this should be done?
We have exactly the same challenge in our projects. And it OK to have a task that provides (part of) the required functionality embedded in the user stories.
How we handle this:
Relate the task as a CHILD to the user story with the highest priority after release/sprint planning is done.
Relate the same task as RELATES TO to the other user stories.
In practice, the task hours are rolled-up into the first user story being processed. The task is then already done when the following user stories are put into sprints.
Would that work for you?
Firstly in the example above the task has three components at least
form
validation
filtering
it looks like three tasks three stories
solved?
