VSTS | Entering values to a custom Mandatory Field for a work Item

[Bharathrajakr]

on receiving an email to my account, i am trying to create a WI in my VSTS which I can able to create flawlessly. For specific work item types out VSTS templates have mandate custom fields which are not showing in Flows. How can i populate values to these custom fields?

Hi Bharathrajakr,

I created a custom field in my Visual Studio Team Services. Then I created a flow to create a new work item in VSTS when a new email is arrived, it seems that only these fields: Title, Description, Priority, Iteration path, Area path, Link URL, Link type, Link comment of each Work Item type are shown. There is no custom field. To populate values to mandate custom fields, I would suggest you to submit an idea at “Flow Ideas”.

Here is the link of “Flow Ideas”:

Unfortunately custom fields in VSTS are not supported today but we have this on our backlog and are investigating options. Please add an idea so that other users can vote on it as well!
