I´m looking for a way to format the Description of WorkItems that are of type UserStory, Issue or Task, but the ToolBar for changing Font, FontSize, FontColor, that is available to format the Steps to Reproduce of Bugs isn´t available for those WorkItems.
I would like to know if its possible to enable the ToolBar for the Description.
I have tested this with the TFS-Plugin in Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. We are using TFS 2010.
This is not possible in TFS 2010 because the default description field is Plaintext not HTML. In TFS 2012 this field has been changed to HTML.
You “could” create a new Description field “MyCompany.DescriptionHtml” for example of the type HTML, but you would have to ensure that no-one (or any reports, etc) ever used System.Description for anything.
Also, you would need to migrate all existing descriptions to the new Field.
