In Azure DevOps Repos we are using branch protection and the "Include Automatically Code Reviewers" policy. As automatic reviewer we have created an Azure DevOps team to list all the possible reviewers.
If now a PR is created then this team is added automatically as a reviewer. But none of the people within that team get any notification that a review should be done.
Is that on purpose or just a wrong configuration or a bug?
Thank you
You need to set up Team Notifications in your project using Manage notifications for a team, group, or organization documentation page.

We are using Azure DevOps for development. We have several teams but one team needs to be the "Default" team. Does this affect anything else than that the default team can not be removed? I have not found any documentation what the project default team does.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/add-teams?view=azure-devops&tabs=preview-page
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/about-teams-and-settings?view=azure-devops#the-default-team
In the docs you sent:
Backlogs, boards, and dashboards are automatically configured for this
default team so that you can start defining work items and your
backlog.
When deploying to an environment in Azure Devops I set some people to approve a deployment. At least one person must approve the deployments to tst, & uat. two to prd. When deploying all people get a mail, because it is often a person that can approve that oversees the deployment this is not needed. I would like to have that there will be no mails or notifications for the tst & uat environment, only for the prd. Is this possible, I could not find a solution. thx
We can create email notification in Azure Devops , and we can custom email setting to whom we want to send .
Based on the Microsoft documentation:
Choose which team members should receive a notification:
For more information please refer this Microsoft documentation : Define approvals and checks
Azure boards MS Team integration. Only showing Issues or Epics, where are my work items?
I added a tab into a Team channel, and I can see Issues, but there is not option for showing the Work Item field?
On the Azure Boards website I see both fields: Issues and Work items.
Here is no Work Item field
This is the website showing both types at once
As I understand, you are not able to see work item field.
If you need to see work item field,
you need to connect to a project and not just a repository.
From the connect to a Project dialog.
Use CTRL-Shift to select your options and then choose Connect.
The new Work Items experience is available when you connect to a Azure Repos Git repository.
For further reading please follow the document.
You need to set up and manage subscriptions for creating and updating work items. You can create subscriptions to monitor work items at any time using the #azure boards subscriptions command.
Please go through the documentation for more info.
wow I can believe after almost a year nobody replied you. You can set it up in the Organization Settings > Boards > Settings then you can see the process selected. e.g Agile, Basic (what you mentioned) Scrum, etc.
I hope helped someone after this.
Is there any way to receive an email notification when you are added to a project in Azure DevOps? I've seen a few different ones around builds and pipelines, etc. but nothing for being added to a project.
We've got a number of projects and people may be added well in advance of a work item being assigned to them (for information more than anything). Just wondered if there was a quick way of being able to set this so people have less of an excuse to say they've not had sight of something important.?
receive an email notification when you are added to a project
I am afraid that this is currently not possible in azure devops. Azure devops supports sending email notifications when inviting users into the organization, but it does not provide a subscription to add users to the project.
Apart from the negative answer, I think what you want is a good idea! So I post a feature request here in DC forum, which is our main forum for product suggestions. After suggest raised, you can vote and add your comments for this feedback. The product team would provide the updates if they view it. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.
I have two Projects in one Organization (like in the attached image below).
I would like to see the items from both Projects in the same Azure DevOps Board (dashboard).
Azure DevOps Boards (dashboards) show just the items from the selected Project.
How can I add items (User Stories) from both Projects to the same Azure DevOps Board?
(There is pretty good documentation on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/?view=azure-devops but I did not find the answer)
How I can add multiple projects on the same Azure DevOps Board?
Just as we know, Azure DevOps Board is associated with an Iteration Path(Agile). An iteration path only exists within the context of a Team Project. So, Azure DevOps Board boards by their current implementation live only within a Team Project.
As a workaround, you can try to use the extension Delivery Plans, with Delivery Plans, you gain tailor-made views across several teams and their development backlogs—stories, features, or epics. You can use these views to drive alignment across teams by overlaying several backlogs onto your delivery schedule:
Check the document Managing project schedules across teams with Delivery Plans for some more details.
BTW, there is a user voice Single Dashboard for Multiple Projects, which is on the roadmap, you can vote and track the feedback from this ticket.
Hope this helps.
You cannot do that. I think you have to use one team project and several teams. Just create separate teams for each project. Azure DevOps will create an area path for each team. Then each team will use their own backlogs. In the default project team you can select "Include sub areas," and then you will see items for all teams (or projects).
