Cascading Picklists Extension

Have you ever wanted to have a picklist show only subset of values depending on the value of another field? For example maybe you two fields to track a release, major and minor release. The minor release values are tied to the major release values. In the example below, if the major release is "Blue" then only show the Blue minor releases. And when the major release of "Red" is selected, then only show the Red minor releases.

This extension uses the ms.vss-work-web.work-item-form contribution point that enables you to build a cascading picklist on the work item form. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/extend/develop/add-workitem-extension?view=azure-devops for more information about how work item form extensibility works.

Note: do not publish the extension as a public extension under a different publisher as this will create a clone of the extension and it will be unclear to the community which one to use. If you feel you don't want to contribute to this repository then publish a private version for your use-case.
