For some reason, when we print a SUer Story with embedded images, they are not rendered correctly and are only printed half.

In another user story, the same image is printed completely.
On screen, both are the same size.
I am a bit at a loss trying to find a reason or to find a solution on how to corrrect this.

Would it be possible to recreate the hierarchy between work items using headings in the page generated ?

The aim is to generate a Word document from the pdf with proper heading style. This would allow us to just convert the pdf to word and apply our company style template to create a usable document.

Example of the desired hierarchy :

<h1>Feature 1</h1>
   <h2>User Story 1</h2>
   <h2>User Story 2</h2>
<h1>Feature 2</h1>
   <h2>User Story 3</h2>

First off - fantastic addon. Thanks for the hard work.

Quick question. Have you given any thoughts to having a hot key that triggers a print within a work item? If I hit Ctrl + P now I get the following:

I think this is something I can try and contribute back if you're interested in having a hot key to print. Not sure what type of events I can hook into, but I assume there's some type of key down or print event I can tap into.

The separate configuration of field print order for each work item type is very useful. It is a lot of manual pointing and clicking, though. It would be great to have a way to save the configuration for all work items to a file for archival and a way to import a file to restore the settings.

This would probably be most useful to you in your own testing!

It would also allow customers with multiple Team Project Collections to transfer settings between Collections using similar configurations without having to manually enter the settings each time.

I will track the progress of all of the major problems/suggestions here.

• BUG Printing blocks everything #4 Can't/don't know how to fix
• BUG Cannot print from IE11 #5
• BUG Sort field names in TFS 2015 #3
• FEATURE Configurable fields per work item type #4

If an work item has some attached files it would be helpful, If it would be shown in the print out by adding the file name e.g.:

Attachements:

The table in markdown above isn't supported here

An print out of the file them self is not necessary in my mind.

Just yesterday, I go to print using Google Chrome and my work item print is blank. I go to the configuration settings and it has fields selected. I try to add and remove some fields and then save, still shows blank. I tried on microsoft edge and it works correctly. It seems to have broke on google chrome within the last few days? This always worked before, this is something I use very often.

Thanks

Using the print button on a work item (user story) or using the right-click print option, print the attached error.

some work items have images included in the Description tab, but these don't appear when I try to print them. is there a way to enable this?

I will be using the print to create a document for auditors. I have added the two fields - The External Link Count and the Attached File count but is not printing on the document

I'd expect it to compose the print view with Repro Steps, but it's empty. Is it just not supported at this time?

When printing a bug it attempts to print Description and Acceptance Criteria, with the text "No Description" and "No Acceptance Criteria" which makes sense because those fields do not exist for bugs.

We would like to see Repro Steps and System Info fields displayed in the print job, as well as Planning, Priority and Effort.

I believe there is another ticket stating that only the last discussion item is printed, and not the whole discussion.

This is from the BUG WI field [Repro Steps]:

This shows the print of the WI where the picture is left out, and only part of the XML is shown.

How can I get all the details from the field printed (or saved to PDF).

Is it possible to generate an hyperlink to the respective work item. So if the user print to an pdf, he can access directly to the DevOps work item via the link.

Hello, how can I navigate to the per-user Configuration screen to add fields to work item types?

The screenshot gif shows it under Backlogs Queries | Work Item print, but I can't find it neither at Backlogs, Queries, nor the Project or Global settings.

Where is the link to this screen supposed to be placed, and how is it named? Maybe I need to request permissions from my Azure administrator?

First of all thank you very much for the great work, I've searched for a printing feature for so long..!

I've got a problem where, after some adding and re-sorting fields in the Selected Fields view, all of a sudden there were duplicate entries in the list which I can't select or remove. The fields are also included in the generated Reports. Any idea?

Hi,

The extension does not inlcude the entire discussion field.

Regards,
Wes

See attached. Using this button result in nothing - when opening the Backlog Item and use print from there works fine.

When I select the first entry in the testplan and then the print icon, this does'nt starts the dialog.
If i select a subelement it works.

Thanks for help.

When I move a field from the full list to the selected list when the selected list has a scroll bar, the new field always shows up below the viewport and I have to scroll to display it so I can confirm it appeared or move it up in the list. It would be nice if the selected list automatically scrolled to display the newly-added item.

Hi,

I printed a work item that contains e.g. <head>, <header> and <footer> (see first attached screen) and the printout did not show them at all (see second attached screen).

I assume that elements in angle brackets are not escaped and interpreted in the browser before printing.

My organization would like to use this but the extension has a copy left license. Are you willing to change the license to a more open license model?

Thanks,
Wouter

Hi,

Could you allow inclusion of Acceptance criteria when printing

Kind regards,
Georgi

Is it somehow possible to specify a default configuration (fields and order to print for each work item type) for the entire organization? Maybe we couldn't find it or it is not available?

The configuration for each user is great to overrule a default configuration, but now all our 200+ users must first specify which fields they want to print for each work item.

Kind regards,
Roy

When configuring the print template for the first time, I had to add all the fields myself.

It would be easier to populate this screen with the default template. Allowing users to directly modify it.

With the Azure DevOps UI redesign, an update is needed to add an icon.

If you'd like assistance in this please let me know and any suggestion you have of an icon (or I will otherwise make one)

I configured Task to print the following fields in the following order:

Title
Iteration Path
Assigned To
State
Reason
Blocked (custom String field)
SLPriority (custom String field)
Remaining Work
Backlog Priority
Activity
Area Path
Description

The following fields are not printing despite having contents:

Iteration Path (System.IterationPath)
SLPriority (custom String field)
Remaining Work (Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork)
Backlog Priority (Microsoft.VSTS.Common.BacklogPriority)

All other listed fields print as expected.

Bug:

Title (ok)
Iteration Path (missing)(System.IterationPath)
Assigned To (ok)
State (ok)
Reason (ok)
SLPriority (missing)(custom String field)
Regression (ok)
Effort (missing)(Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.Effort)
Remaining Work (missing)(Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork)
Activity (ok)
Severity (missing)(Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity)
Area Path (ok)
Clinical Concern (missing)(custom String field)
Business Concern (missing)(custom String field)
Probability of Occurrence (missing)(custom String field)
Risk to Product (missing)(custom String field)
QMS ID (missing)(custom String field)
Symptom (ok)(custom Html field)
Repro Steps (ok)
Found In (ok)
Integration Build (ok)
System Info (ok)
Verification Test Cases (missing)(custom String field)
Design Summary Package (ok)(custom String field)
Deferred Comment (ok)(custom Html field)
Acceptance Criteria (missing)(Microsoft.VSTS.Common.AcceptanceCriteria)

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with custom vs. built-in fields since some of our custom fields print fine.

I'm testing with work items that have values in all of the listed fields.

I'm still using TFS 2015 update 3.

Steps:

• Go to the Work Item Print page.
• Select Bug.
• Select any field and click the right-hand arrow.

The field disappears, but doesn't show in the right-hand column.

The error I see when I load this page:

VSS.SDK.min.js:3 Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #all-Incident-#

It appears to be choking on the field we have called "Incident #".

Love this extension! Def what I need. However, based on my testing History appears to be picking up the Comments instead of the full history.

Can this be confirmed and updated? We would like to use this to be able to print the contents of a work item to a PDF for auditors.

Thanks.

I would love to have an option to print more cards on each sheet of paper instead of one card on each sheet.

No need to change the layout, just separate each work item on the sheet(s) with a horizontal line so I know where to cut.

After activating the new Azure DevOps backlog experience, the print option is not shown in menues, so there is no way to print anything.

With the field picker for a particular ticket type, I added the field "History". Alas, no history is printed at all.

None of the following fields show up in the printed format:

• Related Links
• Related Link count
• External Link
• External Link count
• Linked files
• BIST Links

My end goal is to be able to discern work item relationships on paper. I assume that Related Links and Related Link count is what I need to achieve this.

Thank you for sharing this plug-in!

Save button does not become available when only sorting selected fields.

If I select a set of items from the results of a query, they are printed in numeric order by ID instead of maintaining the sorted order in the query results.

Enhancement Request
On the History tab there is the State Graph. It's a visual representation of the changes of states and who did it.
Would you be able to add this information? I don't need the visual representation, just the data; who did it, when they did it, and to which state they moved it to.

Hi Ryan,

On the extension installation page, the first screenshot shows where you can choose what fields to print. I'm in Azure DevOps, and I'm not able to find a similar screen to this. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you, and also thank you for creating this extension. It is really helpful.

All the best,
Jenny

I'm using this extension to generate a static doc of our backlog and I would like to convert the report to a word document or any modifyable document with formatting.
One workaround I found was to copy the HTML rendered before printing and pasting in word. This gives me a formatted document.

What I would like is to keep the HTML heading, which could be enriched to show hierarchy as proposed in #32 .

This requires to remove the link in the title. Could this be an option of the print configuration ?

Thanks for the quick response.
Actually, I've found out that if I access my company tfs server via https, the plugins don't work.
It seems that mixed content ( http x https ) is somewhat buggy, or the initial setup was not done
correctly.
I was able to use your plugin successfully, accessing my tfs server via http.
By the way, congratulations for your plugin, it's very useful.

we have on premise TFS 2015 I installed task on collection. but still the print button is not coming up on the backlog as well as on the queries.

Usually in UIs like the field selection screen, it is possible to double-click an item to move it between the two lists. WIPrint's field selection UI does not support this. It would be helpful if it did.

It is also common to allow multiple selection via Ctrl-click to move a batch of items at once.

These two features would make the field selection UI easier to use. They're not a high priority for me.

When printing off a Query we don't need every item on separate pages just a list on a page....

If there was an option to Print of a query of bugs for example, so that they are displayed in a list on a page this would be a handy feature. At the moment we have to take a screen shot and print that off which is not ideal. As printing of a card per page is not a good idea when you have 200 bugs, its a waste of page and ink.
We just want the list to appear as it does on screen with the same columns and headers... I hope the example shows you what I need.

Thank you so much for providing the Work Item Print Extension. It really helps us to print content of work items.

Our users struggle a little with the user specific configuration. It would be great if the admin team could define default settings for our team project. Most users would accept these settings.

Is there a way to make this possible?

Many thanks in advance.
