Clark One Click Child Links

Clark One Click Child Links

You can use this extension to apply templates for commonly created tasks for PBIs, PBIs for Features, and so on.

For example, EPT uses this extension to create tasks for the high-level steps involved in setting up a new CICD. When the extension is used on an EPT Request with the New CICD tag, the task templates that are defined in the Tools project with the filter for that tag are applied to the Tools Request.

Many teams use this extension to quickly create tasks for peer reviews or deployment tasks, but it can be used to create any type of child work item that is defined in the templates for your project.

See the usage doc for more information on how to use this extension.
