I have created a new inherited process and a custom Work Item Type - "User Story". I then added ADO system's 'Created By' field to my fieldset
User Story Fieldset
And then created a rule to set the value on creation
User Story Created By value Rule
However, when I go to enter a new User Story, the validation won't let me Save:
Validation for Author field
Note that the 'Author' came from the label I had previously used for this field:
Label field Created By to Author
According to the error message Field 'Author' cannot be empty, I think you should customize a field named Author and set the field as Required in Options.
If you don't find the Author field in the Work Item page, it may be due to the selection of Hide from layout.
Through the test, The field name displayed in the error message has nothing to do with the label. Even if you name the label of Created By field as Author, the error message should be displayed as Field 'Created By' cannot be empty instead of Field 'Author' cannot be empty.
So you can check whether the situation I mentioned above caused your problem .

I have created a custom currency field, in Salesforce, on the standard Opportunity object. It's not a formula field; a workflow updates this field on edit/new opportunity. I have enabled Field History tracking on this field.
I want to include this field on a trend report with 2 snapshots of the field's value. The issue is that I don't see the field's historic value available to be selected under the "Opportunity (Historical)" field list. So, it seems like the value has not been added to this related object. (I can see the other standard fields' snapshot values.)
I went to the Report Type to see if I could add it there, but again, it's not available to be selected; only the field that's in the actual opportunity is selectable.
What steps have I missed?
if your field history report isn’t returning any records even though you know that records have changed, then ask your admin to turn on field history tracking.

How can we notify a user to select a value to a drop-down field in Azure DevOps work item without making it a required field.
The reason of not making it mandatory is because it is not a compulsory information.
But the reason for this 'way to notify' is to make sure that this value is to be filled when it is relevant (which is most of the time - but not all the time).
There is no option to add a notification on a field without making it mandatory, but there is a workaround to force the user to think about the value of the field.
You can add an additional boolean field who is enabled by default. This field can be used to create a rule for your original field, to indicate if it is required or not.
So to set this up you have to add the following fields/rules to your work item type:
2 fields:
originalFieldName (the field with extra attention)
booleanFieldName (Boolean, default value: true)
2 Rules:
When a work item is created
Then set the value of booleanFieldName to 1
When the value of booleanFieldName Equals 1
Then make originalFieldName required
With this solution the user always have to fill in the field or make the field is optional by deselecting the boolean field.
If you just want a message to be displayed in the work item to notify user to select a value. There is a workaround that you can create a customized process. You can customize the fields and pages in the your custom process.
For testing, i create a custom process and add a notification text to a group name to indicate use to select a value for a field. Please refer to below step.
1, Go to the Process section in the Organization Settings, and select the process that you want your custom process inherit from.
2, Then choose the work item type you want to edit. You can edit or add a fields or group to the work item type. For below example, i edit the title for Planning group to add a notification message.
For more information about custom process please refer the official documents.
If you already choose a process to your project. You can refer the detailed steps here to change your project process to the customized process.
Hope you find above helpful.
I am working on Azure DevOps and I know little about the product. I want to view the field history when it is created and by whom it is created and last modified.
I have gone through a couple of things in docs but it didn't help me.
Research up till Now
It shows me the fields but no information other than when I clicked on fields it gives me an option to delete the field.

How can i view the Created Date and the Owner of the Field in Azure DevOps
Indeed, there is no such out of box way to get the Created Date and the Owner of the Field.
As a workaround, we could add a custom field in our custom process and set the value to 1 when the field is defined with a value. For example, I create a MyCustomFiled field and add rule to set the MyCustomFiled to 1 if the target field is defined:
In this case, when the target field is created by some one, our custom filed will be set with value 1.
Next, we create a query with following Filters:
Now, we could get the Created Date and the Owner of the Field.
Update:
what about the fields that are already created?
For this situation, we could query workitems whose fields have been modified according to the opposite conditions, for example, the Description field:
If this workaround still not work for you, you could try to use REST API Revisions - Get to get all the history for one workitem, use scripts to filter the revision about the specify field, then loop through all the workitems.
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/wit/workItems/{id}/revisions/{revisionNumber}?api-version=5.1
Hope this helps.
I am tying to use this filter to update an existing entry:
https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_entry_id_pre_save_lead/
However, in the documentation it says:
This assumes that the entry ID to be updated has been submitted with the form from an input which as the input name "my_update_entry_id".
For my scenario it would be ideal if I could capture the Entry ID as part of the entry submission (in a hidden field). Is there a way to do this?
Alternatively, I could dynamically assign an entry ID prior to it being created?
If you are updating an entry, I'm assuming it already exists. If it already exists, you should be able to use dynamic population to populate the existing entry ID into a Hidden field on the form. Then you can use the example from the gform_entry_id_pre_save_lead documentation to update the desired entry on submission.
Here's an existing snippet that does the same thing: https://gist.github.com/spivurno/32e914d67723f89717be2904ce6234c4
I need help on how to create the following workflow please. I added a new body field in the NetSuite sand box called “sow.” It is a check box field and I added it to the sales order transaction page. Is it possible to make a formula that says: If “contract type” field that exists on opportunity equals “sow”, check box, if not don’t check box? So the field contract type is on the opportunity and once this is contract type is set to SOW the checkbox SOW on the opportunity should be checked.
Your workflow will need a single State. The State will have a single Set Field Value Action, which will mark the checkbox accordingly. This Action will have a Condition that looks at the value of the Contract Type field.
