How to manually add UrbanTurtle.BoardColumnMapping to TFS process template

To modify your process template manually, you can use the Microsoft "witadmin" tool to export the Feature work item type definition, add the UrbanTurtle.BoardColumnMapping field to it, and then import it back in TFS. Here are the steps:

1)  Export the Feature work item type definition to an XML file using the Microsoft witadmin tool. Here an example of the command (where you have to replace the path to the exe file, the server name and the project name with the appropriate values):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\witadmin.exe exportwitd /collection:"http://localhost:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:"MyProjectName" /n:Feature /f:c:\temp\Feature.xml

2) Modify the xml file to add the UrbanTurtle.BoardColumnMapping field in the <Fields> section. For example:

<FIELD name="UrbanTurtle BoardColumnMapping" refname="UrbanTurtle.BoardColumnMapping" type="String" reportable="dimension" />

3) Import the modified work item definition xml file using the Microsoft witadmin tool. Here an example of the command (where you have to replace the path to the exe file, the server name and the project name with the appropriate values):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\witadmin.exe importwitd /collection:"http://localhost:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:"MyProjectName" /f:c:\temp\Feature.xml
