How to modify the Team Area attribute of a work item.

He Huang (31●9●11) | asked Aug 22 '13, 11:13 p.m.
We have a project area, and it has two team areas (suppose A and B).
When I create a work item in this project area, RTC always select team area A for me.
And there's no way for me to select team area B.
Why this happens?
And how can I change the team area of a already saved work item.

Normaly the team area is selected by choosing the "Planned For" fiels - this belongs to the category and each category has to be associated to a team area (default is project area for the top category)

 I would suggest looking at https://jazz.net/library/article/589 to better understand how things are related in RTC

Just a short extract :)

Categories

To allow users to assign a work item to a team, the project area provides categories. A category is basically a human readable text. Each category is associated to a project or team area.  

It is possible to have multiple categories assigned to a team area. This can help with planning, work balance and reporting. For example it is possible to create a category "MyProduct" with subcategories "Core", "User Interface" assigned to one team. These are also typical categories.

A work item is assigned to a team area based on:
- the Category assigned to the FiledAgainst property of the work item,
- the timeline of the iteration selected by the PlannedFor property of the work item, and
- the Category mappings defined in the Work Item Categories page of the project area of the work item.
So to assign the work item to Team B, you would need to set the FiledAgainst property of the work item to be a category that is mapped by the project area to Team B for the timeline of the PlannedFor iteration of the work item.
