Azure DevOps Extension for generating random code names for work items.
They can be used as an alternative to work item IDs or titles, that are more than often hard to remember.
This extension adds a work item control with a button that generates a code name, then it updates the field that was configured in custom control options. Boards and backlog lists can be updated afterwards to hide ID and show that field.
Currently phrases are generated from a predefined pool of words. They were inspired by universally known things, beings and ideas, resulting in phrases that are fun and easy to remember.
