Exclude work item types from being used in plans
Accepted answer
Illona, there is nothing special to work items with respect to "created in plans".
A plan is just a query on the work items. Stop thinking about a plan being something else. A plan for the most part does not even store anything (there is some few information that is not reflected in work items and life calculated in the plan or stored in its context (e.g. ranking)). But for the most part a plan is just a query. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/RTCProcessFundamentals#Planning for some more basic info,
Regardless how you create them, any work item can show up in a plan, if the filed against and planned for is matching the query search scope. You can configure plans to not show execution items and also to filter some data, but what you request is not supported and does not make sense in my opinion either.
You can work with permissions and revoke the ability to set the planned for attribute for roles, if you wish. That is pretty much what I think you can do,
