Index of system or basic work item fields in Azure Boards

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

Use this index to look up a description of a field used to track an issue, task, or epic. This reference includes all fields defined for the Basic process. If you use another process—such as Agile, CMMI, or Scrum—see Work item field index for more field definitions.

Note

The Basic process is available when you add a project to Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1. For earlier on-premises deployments, choose Agile, Scrum, or CMMI process.

To support other tracking needs, you can define your own custom work item fields.
