  • 1.  Why the Milestones column if not available in Excel Add-in when querying User Story ?

    Posted Aug 20, 2015 10:34 AM
    Hi,

    Is there a reason why Milestones are not available in the Excel Add-in?
    I'm trying to group my EPICs in some ways. Release is not available for EPIC so I'm leaning towards Milestone but I don't see the column in Excel Add-in and it's a show stopper for a bulk update of my EPCs.

    Thanks,
    Yann

    Hi Yann, this is something Rally is working on releasing, but we don't yet have an ETA for you.

    Mark, no ETA at the moment.  I do encourage you to vote and share the existing Idea for this functionality, though: https://ideas.rallydev.com/ideas/D3658

    Thanks John. I voted this morning. Let me know if there is any other lobbying I can do. As a common component team, this is really limiting my abilty to report my deliverables to the products that consume my code.

    Still waiting on this one. It would be a major block for our internal reporting routines if this is not available to us.

    Thx

    If you have not discovered this already, as a possible workaround for adding Tags and Milestones to newly imported items, you might consider using bulk editing (more information here) to add these values to your items.   This can be done on most of the pages, or with a Custom list, quite easily.  You can use the filtering to make selections based on specific criteria, then bulk edit to add the Tags and Milestones.   

    Hope this helps!
