In TFS 2010, with Agile 5.0 template, I want to add a 'Managed By' field to every workitem, so I can create a query that views everything 'ManagedBy' someone. This way something can be Assigned To someone, and Managed By someone else who checks progress.
I can add the Managed By field using Process Editor in TFS Power Toys, however the problem is I can't use the same field for different types of Work Items. If a field in a User Story has a ref name of ManagedBy, I can't add that field to a Task, but nor can I create the field in Task, I have to make Task.ManagedBy and UserStory.ManagedBy - which breaks filtering for queries, where I just want to filter on ManagedBy = UserX
The actual error that prevents adding a field of the same name in two WI types occurs when trying to save the second one - it says : TF26177 The field ManagedBy cannot be renamed to Managed By - google indicates this can come from TF 2008 to 2010 upgrade, but this is a 2010 only installation.
Any ideas? I would think it should be possible to add a field to the base 'WorkItem' or share the field across all Work Item types.
