TFS Aggregator - how automatically modify a field value when a link is manually added to a workitem

Question

I'm using TFS 2017 update 1 on premises. Is there any way with TFS Aggregator to automatically modify a field value when a link (e.g. parent/child, related ecc.) is manually added to a workitem by TFS Web Interface.

Answer 1

You can try to identify the value changes of the field "Related Link Count"

When you add a Related work link to a work item, the field "Related Link Count" will be changed accordingly. (refname="System.RelatedLinkCount")

So, you can set the rules to modify a field value automatically based on the "Related Link Count" field changes.

First, try to follow the steps of installation on this website to install the plugin: https://github.com/tfsaggregator/tfsaggregator/wiki/Install

Then create the rules accordingly. Below are the samples you can reference:
