If you're using the CMMI template, you have a "Triage" field already on the bug, which encapsulates a nice mini-state set for getting bugs going. We query on project, State == Proposed, Triage == Pending.

The XML in the template is:

<HELPTEXT>Status of triaging the bug</HELPTEXT>

</ALLOWEDVALUES>

</FIELD>

Thanks so much for this helpful hint!

We were always frustrated with the fact that the <VALIDUSER /> tag pulled in all of the users that had access to Team Foundation Server - not just the people that had access to the project. Using the logic presented here, I was able to substitute the <VALIDUSER /> tag in all of the user type drop down lists with the project groups. This really helped in limiting the number of people shown in these lists.

Thanks so much!!
