Code review and feedback field reference in Azure Boards and Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018 - TFS 2013

You can use the code review and feedback fields to create queries and reports that track the status of these processes. The fields appear in the following work item types, which are included with the default processes for Azure Boards and TFS: Code Review Request, Code Review Response, Feedback Request, and Feedback Response.

Note

If your Azure DevOps or TFS server has been upgraded from an earlier version you might need to update your project to get access to these work item types. See Configure features after an upgrade.

Fields used to track code reviews

The following fields are used to track code review requests and responses. You can only make a Code Review request against code maintained in a Team Foundation version control (TFVC) repository. A code review response is created for each person who provides review comments. See Day in the life of a Developer: Suspend work, fix a bug, and conduct a code review.

Note

Retrieving code review comments programmatically isn't a supported feature.
