Task checklists aren't shown on Backlog board
Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server
Version 14.0.24712.0
Task checklists aren't shown on Backlog board if there are too many task items.
Possible reason is failed API call.
As I can see there is <tfs url>/_apis/wit/workItems?ids<id>[%2C<id>]&fields=<fields> call while board loading.
If there are too many tasks, more than 200, details are got portionwise, API is called several times with maximux 200 ids per call. Now we are using 7 digit ID, so for API call of getting info of pack of 200 ids with 6 fields specified, url with length=2173 is generated. The problem is that url length limit is like 2000 for most cases, so API request is failed with 404 error, because it is trimmed.

In this bug I provided enough information, I am pretty sure correct url length limitation will fix the problem for all customers
