I'm using the basic work item process in Azure DevOps.
If I look at my backlog without any filters, then it shows me a hierarchy, with epics as the top-level items, then issues and then work items.
If I filter this to only show items that are to do or doing, it shows them as a flat list, not a hierarchy.
Is there any way to see the items as a hierarchy, but filter out done items?
Update following Shayki Abramczyk's comment
The options button doesn't include an option to show parents...
Go to the Work Item Query tab and create a work item query. Configure it to Tree view and let it follow the parent/child relation.
You can filter on the top level (top part of the query editor) and the lower levels (bottom part of the query editor). Use the State in filter to select multiple states. You can't multi-select them in the UI, so typing is required:
PS: The , is the list separator in most languages, but sometimes you need to use ;.
If you want to see parents when ANY child leaf is still open, set the Filter: Match top-level items first to Filter: Match child-level items first.
To specify the order, add the Backlog Priority field to the query and use the table header to sort by it:
Or use the Sorting option in the "Choose Columns" fly-out:
Note: The exact field name differs per Process template. Backlog Priority is for the Scrum Template, Stackrank for CMMI and Agile and Basic:
An easy way to get started is to take the board view closest to what you want and save it as a work item query.

I am trying to create a custom rule so that a custom field must be defined when moving a card to a specific board column but can't find how to do it.
Something in the lines of:
When board column changes value to "Deploy" make custom field "Target" required.
A user should not be able to move a card to column "Deploy" whithout field "Target" being defined.
Any suggestions?
There is a similar question but the only answer to that is using state changes isn't applicable for this particular column change.
The Board Column are not fields of work items as Shamrai mentioned. I am afraid it cannot be done by using the column Name.
The workaround is to map the columns to different states. And then add custom rule by using the workitem state changes.
Click the Gear icon on the Boards page, Navigate to Columns. See below:
You can add Custom State for User Story,Feature and Epic, if there are not enough states to map with the columns.
Go to Organization Settings--> Process under Boards-->Select the inherited process the your project using-->Click User Story(or Feature and Epic)-->Navigate to State and Add new State.
Now you can create the custom rule to make the Target field required when the state of the work item is changed (moved to a different column).
That`s a problem because Board Column, Board Lane, and Board Column Done fields are not available in the fields list to assign rules. I think you may try the following:
Add custom state "Deploy" and assign it to your column. Then use rules.
Create a custom application that queries Deploy without Target and returns such work items with comments "where is your target?" How can I find all work items in a given board column via Azure DevOps API? , How to update the work item from Powershell For VSTS?
I have a query listing all features and their child/related work-items.
Is there a way not to display the features (parents) itself? Just a flat list of all work-items having a link with a feature in this project.
I am afraid you cannot use the flat list of work items to query the work items with links.
You can have a try using a Work items and direct links type of query to show the children work items of the Features on the top level. See below:
If you want to add a query result account widget on dashboards, you can check out the Query Tile PRO tool.
The problem I'm having right now is related to advanced filtering in shopify theme "Fashe"
I have made certain filter groups in my store using advanced filtering by group option. But when i choose a filter in one category, I want other filters to be updated as well related to that category.
Like If i choose collection type to be of one kind, i want the collection colors to be related to those kind only. right now it shows me all the colors available in my store. If choosing one filter, it should change the values in other filters also based on the collection type.
If somebody has this issue resolved, I would be very much pleased if you help me with this.
SECOND THING
One more issue is when I select filter A, the theme gives me the results associated with that filter but when i click Filter B (filter A being selected already) the theme gives me no results instead it shows that no products matching. Somebody with this issue???
Example: www.mytheme/collections/fine/opt1+opt2
This works as an AND statement. But I want to show results from both, opt1 and opt2.
Shopify should work with OR statements. Like combined results of filter A and Filter B.
Is there a way I can reorder work items from a query results as I would normally do with backlog work items?
I'm using the order of work items in the backlog to set the order of issues to address, I would like to use queries to view work items by certain criteria (cross-project) so the backlog board is not a good choice for me.
thank
The description is little confusing, but if you just want to order your query result(according to the title of this thread) by specific condition, the wiql would be very helpful.
Add the Wiql Editor extension to your organization, then create a query with the other conditions you need, click the "Edit query wiql" and update the query wiql.
For information about wiql syntax, please check Syntax for the Work Item Query Language (WIQL), the order by would be the one you are looking for.
In DevOps, I'd like to have a flat list query of work list items, and the parent of that work item in a separate column. While tree view works in retrieving a hierarchy of parent items filtered by the child item, I'd simply like a flat list of tasks with a User Story/Bug column to the right (possibly even the feature of that User Story/Bug in another adjacent column). I can't find anything in the DevOps documentation to accomplish this. Can someone push me in the right direction?
Can you add a column to show the Parent of a Work Item in a flat list DevOps query?
I am afraid you could not add a column to show the Parent of a Work Item in a flat list DevOps query. That because there is no Parent id column in the column options.
You can custom a field (like Parent Id) in the work item when parent was assigned, like:
We can sort via the custom fields and get a list of all the parent work items first.
Besides, there is a similar user voice about it, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. When there are enough communities vote and add comments for this feedback, the product team member will take this feedback seriously:
~~"Parent ID" as Column Option in Queries~~
The feedback suggestion that has the most votes is this one: Add “Parent” column to Queries as well
Hope this helps.
