Hi,

I have a problem when viewing a Team Query that contains an empty numeric value, it defaults to zero where it should display an empty cell. As the empty value for this field is very significant for this query I was hoping you could purpose a workaround. If not would it be possible for you to fix it in the next release.

Thanks for a great product that really adds value to our business.

Cheers
  Lars

Lars,

Thank you for providing feedback for TeamLook.  I am glad to hear that you are finding our product useful and a value add to your business!

When you say you are having a problem viewing a TeamQuery, do you mean through the Query Manager, or in the main Outlook window?  Also, is this on a default process template or have you customized your work item definition to something else (this will help me repro this and come up with a work around).

Thanks,

Hi Joe,

It's the Outlook main window, the Query Manager do not have this problem. We are using a custom process template that can be downloaded from here http://www.scrumforteamsystem.com/download.
The query in question is named "All Product Backlog Items" and "Sprint Number" is the name of the column . For test data all you need to do is create a new work item called "Product Backlog Item", fill in the title and save.

Hello Lars,

We are working on a solution to your problem.  I have indeed repro'd this error here at Personify Design, and will post a work around or fix as soon as we have one.

Thanks so much for your feedback, keep it coming! Customer feedback is the best way to make all products better!

Hi Joe,

Any update on this issue?
Downloading version 1.6 didn't fix the problem.

Cheers,

Lars,

We have identified what the problem is, however, fixing this may a little more difficult than one would hope.  The Outlook type that is used to display the field does not support empty fields.  So it automatically populates it with '0'.

If we change the type to a string instead of an integer, it breaks sorting and other nice things to have.

Unfortunately, for now, this is something that is not fixed.  Hopefully we can have this resolved in a future release.

Thanks,
~Joe
