Hello,

we've updated from tfs 2017 to tfs 2018 (new enviroment). Now i've installed the time tracking tool. I can track and see the old data. 

On installing/undating the work item form we revice the following error:

The element 'SUGGESTEDVALUES' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'GLOBALLIST, LISTITEM'.

TF237070: Importing the definition failed. The definition you are trying to import did not validate against the schema. Edit the definition, then try to import it again.

 

How can i determine which global list is causing the error?

 

Best regards

Andreas

  I am seeing the same issue. Any updates yet? Would you provide a list of Global Lists that you might be trying to reference in the update?

  @Maxim do you have any updates on this. It is happening when clicking "Next" from the "Installing Work Item Form Contributions" page. Perhaps it is trying to add a control with the "SuggestedValues" value set to a GlobalList that we may not have configured in our implementations. 

  Thanks

  We are investigating the issue. We get to this so far: 

  in Andreas' template we see this:

  <FIELD name="Integration Build" refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Build.IntegrationBuild" type="String" reportable="dimension">
   <HELPTEXT>help text</HELPTEXT>
   <SUGGESTEDVALUES expanditems="true">
   <LISTITEM value="&lt;Keine&gt;" />
   </SUGGESTEDVALUES>
   <SUGGESTEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups" />
   </FIELD>

  It seems odd, cause SUGGESTEDVALUES should be there only once. We are not changing such parts of template, so it seems that it exists in your TFS already upon our changes.

  @Manfred, can you try temporary removing one of the SUGGESTEDVALUES and reimport (if you do not use this field) template?

  If you need assistance we can do a meeting.

  I have successfully installed the upgrade.

  I removed all of the entries for

  <SUGGESTEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups" />

  from all the work items in every team project under the team collection.

  The system works fine with multiple entries, just not the empty ones.

  Thanks

  Hi Randy,

  Great that it worked.

  @Andreas, I see that the ticket with investigation of your case is also solved.

  It seems that for some reason on TFS updates it can happen that 

  SUGGESTEDVALUES

  tag can exist twice and work but on reimport it does not pass validation.
