Re: Assign to field is missing while reporting a bug
Start your Visual Studio Command Prompt, this should have all the programs you need in the path.

First use witExport to export the bug definition from TFS.

witExport /f bug.xml /t http://tfsserver:8080 /p TeamProject /n bug

Once you have the bug.xml on your machine make a backup copy so you can replace the bug in your team project if you need to. You need to modify the bug.xml to show the ‘Assigned To’ field which is already defined in the FIELDS element of the WORKITMETYPE.

You will need to modify the FORM section of the WORKITEMTYPE to display the controls to show the ‘Assigned To’ drop down.

I would recommend you locate

<Control FieldName="System.State" Type="FieldControl" Label="Current Status" LabelPosition="Left" />

and paste the text below under that tag.

<Control FieldName="System.AssignedTo" Type="FieldControl" Label="Owned By" LabelPosition="Left" />

Save the file and run witImport

witImport /f bug.xml /t http://tfsserver:8080 /p TeamProject

NOTE: You will need to refresh your Team Explorer before this change will take effect. Also note this will only affect the Team Project you import the bug.xml file too. All other Team Projects including future Team Projects will have the old bug format. You would have to update the process template to have it changed for future projects.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't this field missing by design? The same with the other Product Backlog Items.

Re: Assign to field is missing while reporting a bug
Reading the guidance, yes, it does appear to be by design. A bug should be treated as a PBI.
