Hi,

I'm getting NoAssociatedProcessAreaException with message "The 'Filed Against' category does not have a team area associated with it" when creating a new work item.

I checked my filed against category and it did associate with a team area.

Any idea what may cause this error?

Here is my code to create the work item:

IWorkItemType workItemType = workItemClient.findWorkItemType(projAreaHandle, typeIdentifier, monitor);
IWorkItemHandle handle = workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().connectNew(workItemType, monitor);
WorkItemWorkingCopy wc = workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().getWorkingCopy(handle);
IWorkItem workItem = wc.getWorkItem();
ICategory category = getCategory(...); // method that return ICategory.
if (category != null)
{
// I checked that the category is associated with a team area
workItem.setCategory(category);
}
workItem.setCreator(repo.loggedInContributor());
wc.save(null);

Failed with NoAssociatedProcessAreaException when saving the work item.
