I have an excel workbook that has a field name team leader it has each person listed as true for team leader and false if not a team leader. I need to know how to make the false become blank and the true to be Team Leader
Use a filter to show only trues, replace the first with "Team Leader", and pull down the bottom right corner of the cell to change all fields. Do something similar for the falses, just clearing contents on all of them.
I would suggest using the connected Superuser website in the future for similar issues. It is set up to answer computer and power related questions in general, whereas this site is specifically for coding and development.

I created a Group using
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-groups?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
and then used
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/team-put-teams?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
to create a Team. Now I am facing issue when adding a plan using a Planner app
"Failed to create the plan."
How I can fix this issue?
In my investigations, I found that the other team members are able to create plans. As an owner of the team, I am not able to create them. if I am trying graph API I'm getting an error:
You do not have the required permissions to access this item, or the item may not exist.
I'm glad you came right and that I was able to help. I'm updating the answer so that it's more clear on a few points:
Technically, this actually has nothing to do with Teams at all, it relates to Office 365 Groups, which forms the core underneath Teams, Planner, and more. You actually link in your question to the Groups docs, incidentally. I've updated the question title to reflect this.
I haven't tested this exactly, but I doubt that it needs your account exactly in the Owners and Members - I suspect the main constraint is that there needs to be at least one person in each of those roles (that means there has to be at least one Owner and at least one Member). Arguably, this is actually a bug in Planner, but it was maybe never detected by Microsoft because if you create a Group from the web interface, it automatically puts your user in as Owner and Member.
If you do put your own account into both positions, but that's not what you want long term, you could probably just take them out after creating the Planner plan.
Just a reminder that best practice is to have more than one owner of a Group, in case/when the original Owner is not/no longer available.
It's fixed after adding the creator of teams as a member too. So I had to add the user who is creating Teams in Team members too.
I made sure that there was another owner on the Team, demoted and removed the owner and the re-added them to the team. This resolved the issue that I had with multiple teams
I am new to TFS and know the basic concepts. In my case we have customized TFS a lot which contains around 17 collections, custom fields in work items etc.
I have some queries for which I require some answers. The questions might be generic, but any help or suggestions on the below queries would be great.
Following are my queries:
1.) Show Work Item ID in a specific format. Can it be done
2.) Auto Fill custom fields for a work item based on a category / linked bugs (analogous to Relative Path column type)
3.) While raising a WI through Visual Studio development tool, the datepicker only takes date value and not time. The same work items when raised through web portal the datepicker gives time value as well.
4.) Auto Fill the efforts spent in Child Work items (summation of all child link items in the parent)
5.) Reminders to be sent if iteration / scrum set date crossed. Also check for Work Items as well, if set date is crossed.
6.) Create Queries which can query across all collections / verticals. Currently queries can be made only against each entire collection, but not across all collections. Do we have any mechanism to query against multiple collections?
7.) Email alerts customizations in TFS.
8.) Can the collections be merged into 1 default collection.
I have tried to find few answers from my end as well, and would like to know, if it is correct.
1.) Work Item ID cannot be shown in a specific format as it is system generated
2.) For Auto Filling of Work Item fields, it cannot be done. Manual approach is the only way (unless there is a way to pre-populate fields
3.) One can only query for all projects in a single collection. But it is not possible to query against multiple collections and get the results.
So require assistance on the above queries and also validate the answers I have got for few of my questions.
Any help or suggestions or relevant links would be great.
Thanks In Advance!!!..

You are right. This is by designed. You can not change to use other
format of work item.
Yes. This could not be done at present. It's still a user voice, but
on the Roadmap. Support for calculated fields and roll-ups.
Sorry, not get your point.You could use the DateTimeControl type to give users a calendar picker to select a date for a DateTime field. By using this control, you can quickly select a date and time for the field. For details.
You could do this from a sprint backlog or task board. Details
please take a look at our official tutorial here: Rollup of work
and other fields
We do not have this kind of build-in time reminder for work items.
However, as a workaround, There is a dashboard widget that uses #me
in its query.
You can also cobble something together using the REST API and a
scheduled build. Calling a work item query and sending email is
pretty easy from PowerShell.
No, they are using different database. You are only able to query
across team projects int the same project collection.
It's able to do this but with a little bit complicated. For detail
info, please take a look at this link: Customize TFS 2015 alert

There is no default way to do this. I do not think there is a
possibility of merging two TFS collections other than creating a new
collection, creating the team projects and use a tool such as TFS
integration tools to move the team projects from the source
collections.
As you can see, history will be rewritten with new dates, changeset
and work items ids etc, if you are trying to merge collections.
I want to add in TFS query where parameter "Assigned to" will be equal to team member selected from dropdown list This oportunity exists in Work/Query. There will be great if I can put such query on overview.
I cannot find this option, is it possible? I'm using TFS 2015.
Derrick Fu MSFT #Brett – sorry for the frustration. With TFS2015, we
shipped a new user picking experience designed around an MRU list and
search experience. The “random” list of users you are seeing is
actually the most recent users you have assigned work items to. For
scoped person fields, we realize this is a bit of a takeback since you
no longer get a scoped list of users.
If you want, you can re-enable the old picking experience (without
MRU, search, and avatars) by running the following command on your TFS
instance: exec prc_SetRegistryValue 1,
‘#\Service\WorkItemTracking\Settings\UseTextControlForIdentityFields\’, true
This will change all person fields across the collection back to the
old behavior.

There also has been a uservocie- Limit items in Assigned To Drop down to ALLOWEDVALUES in Web interface you can vote up it to get more attention.
I would like to customize a Work Item Type in TFS to automatically set the Assignee to a particular role. For example (to compare to another Issue Tracker), in JIRA the default Assignee is the Project Lead (so that any ticket not otherwise assigned, gets automatically assigned to whatever person is designated in the role of Project Lead). Can I do something similar in TFS?
So, I realize that one difference between JIRA and TFS is that TFS doesn't (to my knowledge) have the concept of "Roles". The closest thing to that is "Groups", but unlike Roles, Groups can have multiple people (which may be the restricting factor in this problem). I know how to configure a TFS Work Item so that only a certain Group gets listed in the "Assign To" field, but I would like to go a step farther, if possible, and create a custom Group with just one member (e.g., "Issue Guru") and then set up the work item to get automatically assigned to that person.
I'm trying to replicate the Jira functionality here, and maybe there is just no good way to do it in the TFS framework. Any suggestions?
There's a Step by Step Guide on Ivan Fioravanti's Blog for enabling it.
If you are unfamiliar with customising Work Item Types, have a look at the following links (stolen from Grant Holliday's blog).
I never tried this in production but here is something I tried quickly and it seems like it could work.
You can set the default value to a Group by editing work item template in template editor.
Just select Assigned to field and add a DEFAULT rule like shown in the image below.
This will also require you to create one or more groups (one global or maybe one per project). Once you set this up you won’t have to make any updates in the future but only manage people who are in the groups.
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
