Assigning work items to team areas


Shawn Willden (212) | asked Jul 29 '09, 9:31 a.m.
Hi,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but I think I would like to be able to move work items between team areas. It appears that a work item is automatically assigned to the team area of the creator of the work item, but it's common for me to create work items which will be worked by a member of another team. Of course the item can be assigned to a member of another team easily enough (though it does give me a warning about that), but in most cases I would like to just assign the work item to the team, and then let the team decide which team member is responsible.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Use the "Move/Copy to Project Area" operation on the context menu of the
work item.

Thank you. I'll look into that.
