One of the nice features of TFS is it’s integration with MS Project. However I always forget how to update the Field Mapping between MS Project and TFS.
So as a quick reminder:
1. Download the MS Project field mapping file from TFS:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE>tfsfieldmapping download /collection:”http://serverName:8080/tfs/collectionname” /teamproject:”teamprojectname” /mappingfile:”c:\fieldmapping.xml”
2. Update and save fieldmapping.xml
3. Upload the MS Project field mapping file to TFS:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE>tfsfieldmapping upload /collection:”http://serverName:8080/tfs/collectionname” /teamproject:”teamprojectname” /mappingfile:”c:\fieldmapping.xml”
