New Boards Hub, Sprint 217 update
Dan Hellem
As noted in the New Boards Hub 216 Update, we turned on the “Try me” banner for New Boards Hub to new set of customers. As expected, it has spurred a fury of feedback that has kept us busy. It will be at least a sprint or more to address the current backlog of issues reported.
In the meantime, please keep using the New Boards Hub and report any issues you find.
Notable bugs fixed
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| Inconsistent sorting of links on development control | Links in the development control are not always being sorted properly in the list. TFVC changesets specifically. |
| Expand work item not sticky | Expanding work item form is not sticky (remembered) after doing a page refresh. |
| Parent link color on cards | Certain card styles tend to hide the Parent link on Kanban cards. |
| Sprint work details are not accurate | Issues displaying the proper values for team calculations and progress by activity. |
| Adding Task on sprint boards is using wrong area path | Adding a new Task on sprint board is using the default area path instead of the area path of the parent. |
| Load more issues on Kanban board with filters | Load more is not working when using filters on the Kanban board and the team is using inherited child area paths. |
| Extensions: Card contribution point | Kanban card contribution point not working for extensions. |
| Display issue for double digit test count annotation | Test case count annotation on cards is hiding first digit when count is 10 or more. |
| Full page refresh when turning Planning on or off | Backlogs page is doing a full-page refresh when Planning panel is turned on or off. |

| Errors setting test status from card menu | Error on page when attempting to set test status from the Test annotation on Kanban card. |
Note: although these items are fixed, they may not be released to all organizations yet. Rollout can take a few days to a couple weeks.

With so many bugs squashed recently, it’d be great to see some localization issues being resolved soon, too.
