Hey I was just wondering can you write code in a React application that sends a POST request to the Azure API but specifically create a backlog? I can see you can perform a GET request but haven't seen anything about POST
I have been on their documentation and it covers GET but I do not see anything about POST
AFAIK, you cannot create any backlog instances at all. Since there is no support in doing this via the WebGUI, I would assume that there is also no REST-API call for it.
From a logical (or agile) point of view, having backlog instances makes no sense as well: Either a work item (task / user story /... you name it) is part of a sprint or it is placed in the backlog.
This is also the way DevOps handles your work items: If you create a new work item it is placed in the backlog (single instance) by default. When adding it to a sprint, it will be moved out of the backlog.
TL;DR: I guess it is not possible on intention.
after checking in azure devops, if you are about create a backlog page in boards for workitems, then you could not separately create a single backlog page.
You need to create a new team and the backlog for the team will be generated automatically.
You could refer to this doc for team creation rest api.
My api is below.
post https://dev.azure.com/<orgname>/_apis/projects/<projectID>/teams?api-version=5.1-preview.3
request body
{
"description":"",
"projectId":"<projectID>",
"name":"<teamname>",
"identity":
{
"customDisplayName":"<teamname>"
}
}
