Bulk Edit Products in CRM 2015 - dynamics-crm

On Product entity views, I am not able to Edit multi-selected Products in CRM 2015 Online. Also tried by keeping the Products in Active as well as in Draft mode.
Is is supposed to be like this? Kindly help. Thanks.

CRM 2015 doesn't allow editing Products in bulk (unlike previous versions). The new structure which implements families and bundles is to blame for this.

I have two managed Solution in my SharePoint and I want to import it
to dynamics CRM.
Can anyone tell me how much time I will need to achieve This.
I will be gratefully if you can give me some tips or links to this topic.
i have to give you some bad news
Dynamics SRM has deprecated their API and so the only way currently to create and manage environment is through PowerShell.
here is a link to the modules you are going to need in order to create and manage you Dynamics CRM:
Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Microsoft.Xrm.Data.Powershell
Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.ConfigurationMigration
the last one is a bit tricky so you are looking for the cmdlet - Import-CrmDataFile

how can i migrate my current tfs 2013 custom work items to 2015 visual studio cloud?

I currently use TFS 2013 with custom work items for bugs, change request, requirements and features. I am wondering if I can migrate them to visual studio cloud 2015? is there a tool within VS or 3rd party that can do this?
If you are meaning the vsts. Possibly duplicate with this question: How to migrate work items from TFS to VS Team Services (VS Online) . There has been perfect answer from jessehouwing, suggest use one of below three ways as he suggested:
Use Excel for import/export - Will work for most work items, you loose attachments and work item links other than parent/child. The
trick is to extract from one Project Collection then copy all fields,
except the ID to an Excel sheet bound to the target project
collection. You will need to fix all Identity fields (works best when
users have the exact same display name on premise as in VSTS) and
you'll have to import once with state new and then past the current
state/reason over the just imported values and sync again. Test
Cases, Plans, Suites and Shared Steps will not be imported with their
relations in tact. The approach would be very similar to this
one.
Use the TFS Integration Tools - Will work for most work item types, though it will loose custom kanban states and tags. Test
cases, Shared steps and their relations will not be imported. This
option will allow you to import import work items and source code
with their relationships in tact.
Use a 3rd party solution - Out of the available options currently OpsHub offers the most complete solution. For test case and
source control link migration you're looking at the commercial
edition, which comes at a steep price. It still has a long list of
known issues and last time I tried it, I ran into numerous
issues which required their support to resolve them. PS: You can aslo try the tool as Dave suggested in the comment: VSTS Sync Migration Tools

Is there a way to add metadata to links in TFS or Visual Studio Online?

I want to express dependencies with links. A is dependent on B. I would like to be able to express that A needs B by some Date. Is there a way to annotate the link with a date?
Although it is valuable to understand your dependencies, especially if you have more than 2 teams working together on the same product you can't add dates to the link.
You can however add the rate to the feature or epic that are related. At this time there is no delivery date or required by date in VSO Associated with a PBI or a bug. Customisation of work items is due in the near future on VSO so that you can add that field.

Skills Matrix on SharePoint 2013 Online

I was asked to create a skills matrix for our company on SharePoint 2013 Online. Our company consists of about 400 employees.The skills matrix consists of 4 Categories with several fields under each category. Each field has three columns associated with it, Skill Level(1-5), When Last Used, Months Experience.
The goal:1. Fill out form on sharepoint.
2. Save to list- date created - created by
3. HR logs on and pull all skills for specific user into excel.
What I have tried:1. InfoPath form that saves to list. Problem : Unable to add four different repeating tables to add all related skills for that user under each category.
InfoPath form that saves to library. Problem : Unable to query data for HR
MS Access 2013 web app. Problem : Unable to add more skills under each category.Unable to associate one user to several skills.
I think the best solution is probably to go with Access. if anyone could please point me in the right direction to go about this?
or even if there is a better way of coding a custom app in visual studio?

TFS work item query by linked worked items?

Let's say I have a bunch of bugs (work items) that are all linked one work item. How can I right a work item query to fetch the list of all bugs linked to a specific work item?
I can see the list of linked bugs when I look at the specific work item but I'd like to be able to create a query for this. Thanks!
In TFS 2008 you can't do that with a work item query. TFS 2010 provides this support out the box, along with the ability to view that query in a shiney tree view. If you fancy having a play with Beta 1 of TFS 2010 then you can download it here
However, don't be tempted to install as a production server just yet as it is still a beta.
There may be a way to do this using a low level WIQL API, but through the standard query UI there is no way to do this.
