Configuring Which Work Item Version is Linked from Push Emails

When a push email is created, the link to the work item that is included in the email specifies the version of the work item to be displayed. By default, the latest version at that time is specified. However, each time that the work item is opened after the email is created, the work item version is incremented, which means that the link is valid for only one use. To enable the link to be valid regardless of how many times the work item is opened, set the property USE_LATEST_VERSION_ON_PUSH to false.

Procedure

  • In the WPProperties.properties file, set the property USE_LATEST_VERSION_ON_PUSH as follows:
    Option Description
    true The work item version that is linked is a specific version that was the latest version when the push email was created.
    false The work item version that is linked is always the latest version, even if the work item is opened more than once after the push email was created.
    Note: If the property is not in the properties file, copy the following text and paste it into the file, setting the value of the property as desired:
    #######################################################
    #
    #   To use the latest (or any) as the version number in Push
    #
    #######################################################
    USE_LATEST_VERSION_ON_PUSH=true
