How to filter results of adding related work items - azure-devops

When adding a link from one work item to another and searching by title is there a way to filter the results to a specific project? We have two projects in our collection that have work items with identical titles so the search results shows the work items from both projects without any way to distinguish them other than ID.

You can use the search keyword "proj". For example "proj:some_project some_work_item_title"

How to get work items based on condition without passing work items ids?

I need to get all the work items for a Project whose status is Active. But there is no way to get work items based on condition. There are two methods but both require work items ids GetWorkItemsAsync and GetWorkItemAsync in class WorkItemTrackingHttpClient. Can someone please help with this?
I am also ok If I get all the work items for a Project, I will run a for loop and check for the status.

MongoDB - How to show all items in a collection on dashboard on the website

When I want to list all the items in a Collection in my profile on the MongoDB website, it usually displays just one item and writes something like QUERY RESULTS 5-5 OF MANY above it (although there are 10 items in it), so I have to use arrows to cycle through the items. It's slowing me down when I want to change something about all the items, like maybe add a parameter or change the values.
Is there a way to get rid of that and see more items at the same time, listed in a column so I can edit them faster?

Where is the overview of all work items (across all boards)

When, in Azure Devops, opening the Boards > Backlog page there is no possibility to have an overview of all work items accross all of the teams.
You see "All backlogs", but they are divided into the teams.
I want to see an overview of all work items for all these teams.
Is this possible?
You can just create a simple query:
Then you can format it as a flat list or tree.
But keep in mind that the limit for query results is 20000 items.
I want to see an overview of all work items for all these teams.
You can't do that using any of the regular azure boards (kanban board and sprint board).
The only way (well, the only way known to me) to do that is with Queries (Boards -> Queries). To see work items across projects, remember to check the Query across projects checkbox.
At your disposal you have myriads of fields that you can use to filter your results as well. Use them to fine tune your query result if you want. Last but not least, use Column options to specify which columns to show in your result. Since you want work items across projects, you may want to be able to see which project an item belongs to without opening the item. To do that, include the column Area path from Column options dialog. I use the following columns, and sort by ID descending.
Finally save the query.
Now go to Dashboard, click the Edit button, and add the Query Results widget. Configure that widget to use the query you just created. Note that by default, the column Area Path is not included in the Selected columns list on the right, but you have to include it yourself from the Available columns list on the left. Move columns up/down as you see fit.
Click Done editing when you are done. Through that widget you can edit the work items by clicking on the Title of each work item, which will open the item in a modal. You cannot reorder items (I suppose to set priority) on this widget itself, but hey, setting priority is just a few clicks away, so not a big deal. If you like, you can sort the query result using Priority, and after updating priority you should click Refresh to see the updated result.
Hope that helps!

SSRS Multiple parameters in single drop-down

I have a feeling I am probably out of luck on this one, but Is it possible to have more than one parameter in a single drop-down list on an SSRS report? For example, the drop-down could be titled shape/color, and when opened, the top of the list shows shapes, and one can be checked, then below that in the same list, is a list of colors, where one can also be checked. Possible at all?
It is really best to have separate drop-downs for each attribute, but within a single drop-down you would first set it to "Allow multiple values". You can setup your drop-down to be formatted so that the sections of available values are grouped together. Finally, you'll need to add a query or function to check that valid combinations were selected before trying to display the results. In other words, make sure only one shape was selected. You can set an error message with a visibility that toggles based on the selection. This is one method to do what you are looking for, but if you are new to SSRS, you will probably have more specific questions along the way. Once you have more details on a specific step, you can get help with that.

Eclipse Virtual TableViewer filtering and Sorting? [duplicate]

Our application is an RCP appliction and needs to display table of several thousands items. For this reason, we're using SWT.VIRTUAL in our TableViewer. That works pretty well except for selection.
We're having following issue :
Our TableViewer support sorting and filtering. When we use a virtual tableviewer, changing the selection does not preserve the current selected item but the row currently selected.This leads to another item being selected.
e.g: If Item 'A' present at the 5th row is selected by user and sorting is performed, then after sorting the Item at the 5th row gets selected instead of the Item 'A'.
Using a non virtual TableViewer, everything works fine.
We tried to go into debug and found out that the cache from the AbstractTableViewer.VirtualManager class seems to be up to date with the model.
Forcing the cache to be used in the AbstractTableViewer.virtualSetSelectionToWidget() can be a possible approach.
We have tried to implement a solution suggested in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=338696. However it didn't work.
Please suggest some pointers or alternative work around.
Thanks for the answers.
As a workaround for working with huge tables I would suggest you to take a look at the Nattable project http://www.eclipse.org/nattable/. It supports everything you need (sorting, filtering, tree structured elements, lazy loading etc.). We successfully use it in our project, where it is necessary to display hundreds of thousands elements as a tree with around 160 columns. It also has some pretty cool styling features, which can make your table more user-friendly and interactive. Hope this helps
