PowerBI reporting ability for a customized VSTS template

[Hoysala]

Hi All,

I am sure this question would have been asked multiple times before, but I couldnt get the exact post that I was looking for.

Can PowerBI capture all custom fields (apart from the OOB fields in all workitems) from a customized process template in VSTS and be visible for generating reports? If yes, please guide me in capturing those fields since I am new to this service.

TIA 🙂

@Hoysala,

Based on my research, currently, it doesn’t support custom work item fields in Power BI content pack for VSTS, the available work items are recorded in this article: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/report/powerbi/vso-pbi-whats-available-vs .

Some ideas about allowing reporting on custom fields in Power BI have been submitted in the following links, please vote them up.

In addition, take a look at this similar blog to check if you can query your custom fields using VSTS work Items API.
