Defect workflow change not updated for existing defects
I have created a new workflow process for all Defect workitems. This new workflow does not include some state transitions that the original workflow supported. If I create a new defect, the workflow seems to work. However, existing defect work items types do not seem to honor the new workflow.
Is this normal or did I do something wrong? Is there a way to force existing defect work items to now use the new workflow? Thanks, Kevin |

One thing that I noticed is if I look at the WorkItem structure, there Yes, the workflow surrogate keeps track of the associated workflow. I am not aware of a direct possibility to upgrade existing work items to another workflow, however. One possible work-around could be to change the type of the work items to another type with another workflow and back. This should update the workflow surrogate.

One thing that I noticed is if I look at the WorkItem structure, there appears to be a workflowSurrogate attribute. Is this what defines the workflow that a work item follows? Is there a way to change this to point to the new workflow that has been setup?
