I'm customizing work item types in TFS (Team Foundation Server - 2013), and I'd like to know if it is possible to add more than one AttachmentControl to a WorkItemType.

I've tried adding another control of type AttachmentsControl but to no avail, because if I add an attachment inside one control, it appears on the other as well.

enter image description here

To make myself clear, I have a work item type called Change, which in turn has two different tabs, one to store the communication plan, and the other to store the backup plan. These tabs would have just one AttachmentsControl which would hold the respective plans. The plans are simple excel (XLSX) files.

Here's what happens when I add an attachment (print from web, but on visual studio the same thing happens):

There is only one attachment store per work item. Any attachments that you add will always appear in all controls.

  • Well this is unsettlingly unthought of, since the editor allows you to add more than one `AttachmentsControl` :(. Thanks for the confirmation, I'll accept as answer after a couple days if no one comes up with a work around. – Conrad Clark Oct 10 '14 at 12:04
