How can a changeset be dis-associated from a Work Item?
Once a change set has been associated with a work item, is it possible to remove it from the work item.
In the Work Item > Links field there is a Remove button but doesn't get enabled.
The change set may also be delivered to a stream and may not be the last to be applied to the Component.
Is it then possible to associate it to a different work item?
I am using v5.0.2.
Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

I think its possible with below use case.
1) Check the history of Component from Repository workspace.
2) Please select the respective change-set which is associated work-item ,
3) Right Click on Change-set >> Related Artifactes >> Remove
4) Select the workitem id and click Ok.

You can open the change set in one of the SCM views and then use the context menu there and use related artifacts>Remove.
However, you can also select the change set on the links tab of the Work Item editor and right click and remove the link as well.
The button you mention is enabled for me. So maybe you don't have permissions to remove the link?
I tried a usual developer with sufficient permissions and that worked as well. In the permissions check Source Control>Save Change Set Links and comments (server) and Work items>Modify the Work Item>Modify the work item's links>
The other question: once you have the change set, you can assign multiple work items or remove them and the like, provided you have the permission and there is no operational behavior in place that prevents you from doing it.
Hi Ralph,
I have enabled with Source Control>Save Change Set Links and comments (server) and Work items>Modify the Work Item>Modify the work item's links> permissions.
but Still I dont see remove the link enabled in workitem lihnks tab. I am trying with 6.0.1

For which ROLE did you enable that, who owns the work item, which role - thus permissions - do you have in that context?
See: https://jazz.net/library/article/291
Thanks ralph.
but we should right click on the changeset in the workitem links tab, where we get the Remove option is available and its still not enabled in right side ( remove option). Please find the image below and let me know am i missing anything.
I don't know, however one of the ways is working. For the UI's I tried the remove button worked for me in this context as well.
Ralph, thanks for the reply.
What is disconcerting is selecting the linked changeset in the WI and r.h click, the 'Remove' option provides the 'Remove Related Artefacts' dialog which lists the WI. The title is "Select the artefacts to remove". It implies the WI, surely this cannot be right? The title should be "Select the artefacts to be removed from".
I seem to have those permissions in my Developer role but still cannot get the button enabled.
Arun,
