Azure DevOps Work item custom field as checkbox

I am setting up Azure DevOps to track Features and other work items. One of the things I want to track is what environment bug was found in.
My preference is to have a list of checkboxes user can check/uncheck.
I have not found any way to do this using default setup or the Marketplace.
Anybody who can help me out?
To use checkboxes, you can try the extension Multivalue control. Follow below steps to do that:
Install the extension Multivalue control
Navigate to the specific inherited process, select the work item
type (Task in this sample). Add a new field (BugType with Text (single line) in this sample, you can also create a picklist field
based on your requirements).
New group (BugType in this sample)
Add a custom control to Task, select the Multivalue control from
the control list.
In Options select the field created in step2, and enter the bug
type you want to set (e.g Dev;Test;Pord). OK to save the
configuration.
Open a Task work item to verify the checkboxes.
You can add a Boolean field:
Then you can use checkboxes:

How to customize Azure DevOps WorkItem Field Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.Steps

I'm looking for a way to add an additional column for test steps in Azure DevOps TestCase WorkItem.
It is possible to add new fields (string / select controls etc) and reorder existing fields on the test case level. But is it possible to customize the Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.Steps Field?
There is no possibility to adapt it in the test case edit view
and the field delete / edit in all fields area is deactivated too
In the self hosted azure devops server 2019 it seems to be possible over tfs power tools / wit export & import. But how to do it in the azure cloud? maybe there is a way over extensions?
It seems you are using XML process model in azure devops server 2019. But in azure devops service, you are using inherited processes model. To customize work item types in inherited processes, please refer to the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/work/customize-process-wit?view=azure-devops
You can only delete the custom fields, those fields defined for system processes can not be deleted. Steps is a particular field that can not be hide. If you want to customize Steps field, you would need to create a custom work item and customize the Steps field there.

In VSTS Task Groups is it possible to parameterise a checkbox

One of the tasks in my Task Group has a checkbox. Is it possible to set it as a parameter?
For now, the feature is not available. But it's already added in our backlog.
And you can also refer the user voice Allow Task Group parameters to be optional for the feature suggestion.

Can you add validation to VSO/VSTS Work Item fields?

I was just trying to work out if it was possible to add validation to Work Item fields in Visual Studio Online / Team Services.
My use case is i want to make some fields mandatory if a certain condition is met (e.g. if Field1 = x then Field2 cannot be blank)
There isn't any way to do this. To achieve this feature, you need to customize the process template and work item definition which is not supported by VSTS for now.
There is already a feature request for this on VSTS User Voice: Customize Process Template on Visual Studio Online and MS keeps working on this. Refer to this link for details: VSTS Process Customization futures (January 2016)

How to customize a workflow details page in Alfresco Share?

I want to modify the Share workflow details page (/share/page/workflow-details?workflowId=activiti$XXXXX). Specifically, I want to replace the column Type in the history tables with another one that will show the task title (adding it as a new column is a good solution too). I'm working with Alfresco Community 4.0e.
I read this wiki article Custom Share Workflow UI (section "Workflow Details Form"), but that is not the part of the page I need to change.
Any ideas, please?
You can see the columns I want to modify in this picture (see red squares):
For example, where it shows these values (task type):
Review
Workflow Task
...I want to print this (task name/title):
Quality Documents Review
Quality Documents Edition
To add new column or modify shown data, you should modify
currentTasksColumnDefinitions and historyColumnDefinitions in
workflow-form.js i.e, apache-tomcat\webapps\share\components\workflow\workflow-form.js.
To modify existing task title, you need to modify only in property
file namely workflow-messages.properties in apache-tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow\workflow-messages.properties
