Overview

Each item has at least one memo field, typically called Description. Administrators can add other custom memo fields to items.

Link to other items

You can insert links in memo fields to other items.

To link to another item:

1. In a memo field, type or click #, followed by one of the following prefixes:

   w for work item

   s for user story

   q for quality story

   e for epic

   f for feature

   d for defect

   k for task

   t for test

   r for requirement

   b for BDD

2. After the prefix, start typing a string that appears in the item to which you want to link.

   Example: #dtest searches for defects that include the string "test".

3. Matching items are suggested. Click an item to link to it.
