Issue:
The uppercase value entered for a Work Item field is displayed as lowercase once the Work Item template is deployed.
Example:
The N/A value is displayed as n/a
Explanation:
The custom values defined in the Work Item templates are stored in the collection database table named Constants
SELECT [ConstID],[DisplayPart],[String] FROM [Tfs_DefaultCollection].[dbo].[Constants] where DisplayPart = 'N/A
Workaround:
Manually update the DisplayPart data to required case letter.
Update [Tfs_DefaultCollection].[dbo].[Constants] set [DisplayPart] = 'N/A' where [ConstID] = '7777'
Warning: Manipulating TFS tables directly is neither recommended nor supported and might corrupt the database leading to unrecoverable state.
