TFS 2018

Use this index to look up a description of each field used to track work items. This reference includes all fields defined within the core system processes/process templates: Basic, Agile, Scrum, and CMMI. The fields and work item types (WITs) available to you depend on the process you chose when you created your project.

To support other tracking needs, you can modify or add a custom field.

Using the system fields or other fields you added to your project collection, you can enable meaningful cross-project reports and queries. Also, any nonsystem field that is referenced in the workflow or forms section of the work item type definition must have a FIELD element that defines it in the FIELDS section of the work item type definition XML file. Also, you must specify any nonsystem field that you might want to use to generate a query or report in the FIELDS section.
