Major Todos before launch

• Finish documentation
• Complete test suite
  • Refactor to minor components

Bugs

• When a work item is deleted, the data is still persisted
• If a document exists, but the work item does not, it is still showed in the criteria list
• Filtering changes the progress to invalid state
• Creating the first criteria from a work item does not add it to the view
• Deleting the last criteria does not show the zero data state
• Updating the required approval alone does not allow you to save the criteria
• Double loader on criteria control
• Identities does not load avatars correctly
• Fetching work items are not batched
• Copy link to criteria will not show if the work item for the criteria is completed, and the option to show completed work items is disabled
• Scroll in criteria modal is weird
• Invalid flow rejected -> reset to new -> submit for approval -> reject
• Copy link no longer working
• Orphaned no longer working

Todo

• Move settings to storage
• Figure out how to redirect to documentation on install
• Add onboarding dialog that redirects to documentation?
• Add confirmation dialog for destructive actions
  • Reset processed criteria
  • Delete criteria
• Disable changes to processed criteria
• Add error boundaries
• Add better error handling
  • Document changed (etag out of match)
  • Loading failures
• Test in public readonly project?
• Improve testing
• Hub does not resize when added as a custom control
• Do we need the ability to add multiple approvers, and should all of them be required?
  • Should there be an option to configure a "policy" for this?
• Encode criteria link url
• Work item status column
• Close warning when uncompleted

Errors to handle

"typeKey":"InvalidDocumentVersionException","errorCode":0,"eventId":3000

Current UX is very click-heavy.
In order to add a new checklist item you have to move mouse to the add button, click, then move it back to new checklist item and click again.
It would be nice if Enter key adds a new item and moves focus to it.

Since acceptance criterias can not be managed the same way as work items, it would be nice to have a analytics view to show the progress of criterias.

In some cases you want to link other work items (such as a bug) to a criteria.

Hi @joachimdalen,
First of all, thanks for the great idea to build this extension.
Unfortunately, I can not use them.
In your instructions (https://devops-extensions.dev/docs/extensions/acceptance-criterias/configuration/activating) it is described that the extension can be activated under "Preview Features".
After the installation I was able to add "custom control" successfully.
However, the mentioned items do not appear in the "Preview Features" list.
Thanks
Pascal

When approving or rejecting a criteria, it would be nice to be able to add a comment for reasoning.

1. Create a new work item
2. Click the "Acceptance Criteria" tab
3. Fill in and save the criteria
4. Click the "Acceptance Criteria" tab
5. The "save to continue" is still showing

Currently it's not possible to markup the style in the acceptance criteria text.

It would be nice if we could use a rich text-editor/text-markup.
Like this:

As many other items in DevOps uses tags to be able to categorize work, it would be useful for criterias to have tags and to be able to filter on them

If we are to write to tagsMRU the extension needs more permissions

• Load tags from Boards for easy usage
• Keep internal tags state
• Add tag filter to hub
• Create admin interface to manage tags
• Add setting to limit tags to only defined

Hi,
I've been trying to use the extension, but when it loads, I get

When pressing "Reset all settings" the view is not updated with the default settings

Some of the items in a checklist or scenario are rather long and users are unable to read the text as it gets truncated. Please allow the display of overflow text.

Is there a way to set up email notifications?

for example, if we send out Waiting for approval how will the QA team get notified when something is in that State?

A scenario can be fully describes without filling in the scenario field. Make this optional.

Add processing history to criterias. This will help to see how many iterations a criteria has been through before it was accepted.

Some components have wrong colors in light mode

• Table header
• Processing containers
• Progress bar

Auto assign required approvers based on rules that can be defined. This rules should check certain fields on the work item, such as:

• Area
• Tags
• Custom fields?

Add the ability to select visible columns in the work hub view so users can select the information they way to show.

1. Create a new work item
2. Save the work item without closing the form
3. Go to the "Acceptance Criterias" tab
4. Click "New acceptance criteria"
5. An error message is displayed

Hello, there is very nice overview about criterias and their state "assigned" to individual work items in the hub, but is there any plan to allow view from the other perspective, i.e. from the work item point of view.

This is such a great extension, allowing nicely work with acceptance criteria, but as of now, there seems to be no way how to identify e.g. Features that does not have acceptance criteria defined, as existence of acceptance criteria cannot be queried and Hub as such provides "only" view from acceptance criteria point of view and where it is linked.

Filterable view of work items that does not have acceptance criteria, or maybe even combination, like work items that do not have specific acceptance criteria, etc. this still kind of creates bit of gap between work items as such and acceptance criteria, which makes it hard for any quality control mechanism

The checklist items does not show their validation messages

Hi, since templates are one criteria only, is there any chance to have kind of group of templates and/or even better to have some acceptance criteria to be added "automatically" to every work item of specific type as we have some general that must be always met or maybe having configurable criteria when template will automatically be created/applied for work item.

Best option would be having all together... sets of predefined templates (with multiple criterias) and configurable when to automatically apply them e.g. based on WIT tag or area path, etc.

Add the ability to export the list of criterias as excel or csv. Need to figure out how to export the criterias as it is a nested structure.
