Import Configuration
When importing release notes into the entry, specific settings can be configured to apply certain rules during the import process.
Info
This configuration is only in the Releaes Note exntension available!
Filtering by Closed Work Items
This configuration allows release notes to be imported only when the corresponding work item is closed. A work item is considered closed when its status is Done or Complete. If you do not want to apply this filtering, you can disable it, allowing all release notes to be imported regardless of the status of the work item.
Avoiding Duplicate Release Notes
This configuration prevents the inclusion of duplicate release notes from multiple entries. When this feature is enabled, during the import process, a query is run that scans all entries and compares the release notes in them to the ones that are to be imported. If a release note to be imported already exists in another entry, it will not be imported again. This ensures that duplicate release notes are not published in different entries.
Searching for Parent References
This configuration provides the option to disable the search for work item references to speed up the import process. When this feature is enabled, the release notes are searched for work item references to parent items, which are then linked to the release notes. This provides a clearer view of which release notes are related to specific features or components. In addition, you can subsequently sort and group the release notes based on their parent references. This can help you better understand the relationships between the release notes and the associated work items.
Search for file changes
This configuration provides the option to search the work items for commit references. If enabled, the first commit will be retrieved to obtain the file change information. Note that enabling this option may increase the duration of the import operation.
