Adding tags and Mentions

[techker]

Hey my task is set as

• task: CreateWorkItem@1
  inputs:
  workItemType: 'Task'
  title: 'New Build is Done for Android TV : $(Build.BuildNumber)'
  assignedTo: 'Myemail
  areaPath: 'Main\MyTeam'
  iterationPath: 'Main'
  fieldMappings: |
  Description=Pipeline-$(Build.BuildNumber) see attached files and work items from Develop branch
  Developed by=Me
  Verified By=Qa
  Custom.BuildVersionCode=$(Build.BuildNumber)
  associate: true
  linkWorkItems: true
  linkType: 'Tasks'
  linkTarget: 'associate'
  addAttachments: true
  attachments: '**/*.apk'
  createOutputs: true
  outputVariables: |
  TaskCreatedID=System.Id
  WorkItem=CWI.WorkItemEditUrl

Is there a way to add Tags?

And in description if i add @user it does not add it as a notification Mention filed. it sets it as a string.

Hi @techker,

you can add tags through the fieldMappings property just like any other field. Just specify the field name Tags or System.Tags and set the value to a semicolon-delimited list of tags (e.g., System.Tags=Tag1;Tag2;Tag2).

Mentions are on our roadmap. Unfortunately, the logic to create a proper mention tag is done by the work item UI, so it's not enough to just put @username into the description. A correct mention looks like this: <a href=\"#\" data-vss-mention=\"version:2.0,ae0cd6b4-e6e0-484b-a42a-d96ffca86e26\">@René Schumacher</a> and requires you to know the VSID of the user you want to mention. I'm pretty busy right now, but I will try to add the mention logic to the task soon.
