When we check in a file, we would like to have the plugin not allow check-in unless a work order(s) has been specified. I've looked for that before but haven't found a way. I'm looking in Preferences > Team > Team Foundation Server and don't see anything there.
It's supposed you are using Team Explorer Everywhere. What you are looking for is check-in policy. You need to add Work Item Policy if you want to require that one or more work items is associated with each changeset.

I want to change the security settings of my repository project by selecting More options > Security in Azure DevOps web console / browser. But when I do so, I get the below error:
Your administrator has disabled web editing for this repository. You cannot add, delete, rename, or edit files via the web.
I am an administrator myself and not sure what setting I should change and where in Azure DevOps, given that it has varying levels of permissions and that the error message above is more cryptic that I don't see a setting that matches it anywhere.
Note: I am also admin of an external group where access permissions are restricted to many of the projects in this repository. Not sure if this deny is over-riding my permissions and how to go about solving the issue if this is the case.
I really would appreciate your help in fixing this issue
Your administrator has disabled web editing for this repository. You cannot add, delete, rename, or edit files via the web.
As far as I know, this issue should appear in the TFVC repo.
To solve this issue, you need to navigate to Project Settings -> Repositories -> TFVC Repo -> Settings and enable the Web editing option.
For every repository there are two "commit mention" settings enabled by default.
Is there a way to disable one of these or both by default (per project or even org) when a new repo is created?
I did not find any project or org setting in the web ui. Can this maybe done using some rest api?
Thank you
Instead of manually changing these options you can use the very same API as the WebUI does:
Endpoint:
https://dev.azure.com/{ORG}/{PROJECT-ID}/_api/_versioncontrol/UpdateRepositoryOption?__v=5&repositoryId={REPO-ID}
Request Type:
POST
Payload:
{"key":"WitResolutionMentionsEnabled","value": <true|false>}
Project ID and REPO ID (hash values) can be extracted either using the Developer Tools in your browser or using the Python API Wrapper.
I searched and tried with the related REST API (Repositories - Update) and Azure CLI (az repos), but did not find any available interface can change two option on repository settings.
Looks like, currently we have no available method to change the options of repository settings in batches. You may need to manually change these options.
If your projects really need this feature, I recommend that you can report a feature request on Developer Community. That will allow you to directly interact with the appropriate product team, and make it more convenient for the product team to collect and categorize your suggestions.
We're looking at moving from TFS to VSTS. However, one of the features I rely on is the ability to see which developers have got code checked out, when it's getting checked in, and to which branch. I need to see this at the collection level, not per project. Does this functionality exist in VSTS?
Tks
No such built-in features in Azure DevOps (VSTS).
However you can try below workarounds:
To see which developers have got code checked out, you can use the
tool Team Foundation Sidekicks which can retrieve the status
locked/checked out by other users. But the latest version is Version 6.0 only for Visual Studio 2015. Based on my test it's also available for VSTS. Please reference my answers in below threads:
Is there a way in Visual Studio and TFS to view items checked out to local workspaces?
List of checked out files
For when it's getting checked in, and to which branch, you have to
navigate to the specific repository to check the changesets which
include the history. You can also try calling the REST API
(Changesets - Get) to get the information.
Im doing this from workspace manual for all my project. And my colleague making same. Cant i set defaul somewhere when i'm creating project? or from .visualstudio.com ?
Thanks
If users have Server Workspaces you can configure this via Team Explorer. If you connect to a Team Project and click Settings, then Version Control you should see the options that you are looking for.
This setting affects all users of that team project. You will need to set it for each new team project.
NuGet is just great addition for Visual Studio. And it also allows for custom NuGet repositories as long as you provide custom URLs to them.
For company-related projects we can have own NuGet repositories serving whatever libraries are needed for internal projects. The main problem is that each developer has to configure this manually within Visual Studio.
Question
Is it possible to set these URLs by domain security policy settings? This would be great, because every new team member that would install Visual Studio would automatically get these URLs and gettig project source code could automatically load related libraries (with the new NuGet feature that loads missing ones on build).
So #Haacked and Steve Sanderson... Is this possible?
NuGet 2.1 introduced hierarchical configuration settings for NuGet. This allows you to specify things like additional repositories at a project/solution level rather than having to have everyone receive the settings through a group policy.
Release notes: http://docs.nuget.org/docs/release-notes/nuget-2.1
By setting a NuGet repository at the solution level, everyone working on the solution will get the additional repository added to their package sources.
That is not yet possible. I'm pretty sure there's a feature request already for this in http://nuget.codeplex.com/. I recommend finding that feature and commenting on it. If you can't find it, start a discussion. :)
