This functionality is also desired to Features and User Stories. If only ONE user is assigned to Feature or User Story, it's almost impossible to do the planinng for entire team where you have clear distribution of allocated story points along the teammates!
Microsfost PLEASE FIX IT!
thanks in advance for any feedback!

Has anyone discovered an extension that can do this instead? I thought there was one, but I cant find it again.

We also need this! We now sorely miss VersionOne which we used before switching to Azure DevOps. Sure if the management wants accurate burndown and track individuals, but without multiple assignment, a joint task such as "Test in DEV environment" with just one team member assigned simply doesn't make sense. Can't use filter, nor can other team members be self-aware they have this task that they need to commit some effort to. Duplicating the same task for each member would be ridiculous and clutter up the board. It's a trade-off but that should be up to the users of this tool!

@Gökhan DURMAZ Welcome to Microsoft Q & A Community Forum. AFAIK, it is not possible to assign multiple users to a task in Azure Devops. There is open feedback thread for this under review. Also, kindly note this forum is mainly intended for Azure questions. I would kindly suggest you to post Azure DevOps question here where Azure DevOps experts can assist you effectively for your request.
