This dialog allows you to select the change you want to keep, and then to continue with the publish operation. If a blocking conflict – users have edited the same fields in a work item, is detected then a conflict resolution dialog will be shown. If a non-blocking conflict – users have edited different fields in the same work item, is detected an auto-resolution will occur and the publish will complete. The behavior is that when you publish back to TFS a conflict check occurs. It turns out that the concurrency model for 2008 behaves the same (on the surface at least) as that in 2010. Having answered the immediate question, I decided that I’d find out exactly what the case was in 2008 as looking at the work item tracking tables I didn’t see a reason that work item version changes couldn’t be identified between fetch and publish in Excel. This seemed a little strange to me as I wasn’t aware of the issue but I answered that it did – as I had seen the resolution dialogue in 2010. During the discussion I was asked if 2010 addresses the issue of ‘last-in-wins’ concurrency that exists in 2008. I was doing a pre-presentation review last week, and a discussion started about the Excel and TFS concurrency model. That’s it! You’ve just added a list of work items to your Team Project!

Connect to your team project in Excel and get a list of work items from a query (n.b. What people don’t realise is that it can also be used to create lists for publishing to TFS, and it’s really quite simple.Ī. Having talked to a few people about this recently it seems that a lot of the TFS and Office integration is going unused, so I decided to start a living post to catalog some of the Q & A I come across to hopefully increase the use of some of my favorite features….Įxcel works really well as a list management tool.
Seriously! I find excel the most intuitive and natural way to work with my iteration plans, bug lists and perform general task management. One of my favorite integration points for TFS is Office.
