Set work item custom date field

(0) Share

Posted on by laboro Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I'm trying to set a 'Start Date' custom field in a work item through AzureDevOps to the work item's created date. It seems it finds the custom field correctly (I get an error otherwise if I change the name to a field that doesn't exist), but I can't seem to reference the Created Date field. Is there a way I can do this?

I keep getting the following error no matter what I try:

TF401326: Invalid field status 'InvalidType' for field

...

WorkItemTracking.Server.WorkItemFieldInvalidException

...

Thanks!

Here is the initial flow where I get work items:

And where I'm setting Start Date custom field:

I tried variations of CreatedDate, Created Date, System.CreatedDate, item()?['System.CreatedDate'] but none of those work.

As that isn't working, I figured setting Start Date to utcNow() would be easier but I also can't get that to work. Any pointers?
