Useful commands for dealing with TFS Work Items

During my time working with Work Items in TFS2008 I have discovered these useful commands:

[sourcecode language="html"] witfields <action> /s:<server_name> <field_ref_name>

Where <action> can be: view, delete, rename, report, rebuildcache

more information can be found on MSDN here



There are also two commands available when you install the October 2008 release of the TFS 2008 Power Tools. I haven’t used them but I will have a play and update this post with more information!

They are: DestroyWITD & DestroyWI which destroys Work Item Types and Work Items respectively (instead of just deleting them!)

more information on the Power Tools can be found here
