prohibit assigning changeset to workitem with status 'done'

Bernd van Oostrum (217●3●56●73) | asked Mar 04 '13, 5:29 a.m.
Hi,

Is there a way, to prohibit assigning changesets to a closed workitem?

Use case:
After promoting a workitem from dev to test, the user adds a changeset to a closed workitem. These changes need to be promoted as well, but issues arise when promoting the workitem again: 'one or more change sets are not in the source stream'.

Regards,
Bernd.

process configuration --> team configuration --> operation behavior --> save change set links and comments (server)

and then add the precondition "restrict associating to closed work items"

looks like a good way to do it, but after re-opening a workitem, the issue can still occur...

There is operational behavior that you can configure in the Source control section. The Restrict Associating to Closed Work Items precondition should do what you want.

Hi Ralph,

I tried that option. However... as I put in my comment, it is possible to re-open a workitem. This could still introduce the problem.

What would be a good way to avoid the message 'one or more change sets are not in the source stream' when promoting workitems?

I can't comment on your comment above, but You could look into making the closed state a dead state, or try to prevent the ordinary user to re-open the work item.
Otherwise you can create your own operation advisor that prevents adding change sets to work items on some condition. For example have a flag that "closes" the work item for adding change sets.
