Question

Hi,
I am customizing the bug workitem workflow.
 I want ot select different lists, from the gllobal list, for fields basd upon user group
I am aware that I can use "when" clauses in the allowed/suggested values of the field.
My question is : how do I get the group(s) that the current user is in and how do use this to select different lists?

Hi!
You can not do this through standard way. You must to create the custom work item control:
http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/
And get the user group through IIdentityManagementService.
IIdentityManagementService IdentityService = _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();
TeamFoundationIdentity _curid = null;
_workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetAuthenticatedIdentity(out _curid);
string _group = "Admin";
var _gr = IdentityService.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.AccountName, _group, MembershipQuery.Direct, ReadIdentityOptions.None);
if (_gr.Members.Where(s => s.Identifier == _curid.Descriptor.Identifier).Count() > 0) return true;
