Generate work items from requirements
When I go to the Links tab of a development plan, link a collection, and then generate work items based on the requirements in the collection, I can only create user stories. Is there a way to select the type of work item I want to create? If not, is there a setting I need to define to create a different work item type when I generate the work items?
Accepted answer
This works as designed. In the project area, you can configure work item types as plan items and execution items. This can be done in eclipse client as well as in web client. When creating work items from requirements, it gets the list of plan items configured in the project and uses the first one from the list. If you need this to be configurable, please open an enhancement for the same.

With the current implementation, if you really want to choose a different work item type, you have to go into RDNG and manually create the "Implemented By" link for each requirement.
This should be possible. Open RTC Eclipse. Click on Project Area -> Open > Process Configuration -> Change Management Type Binding > Implementation Request > CHANGE Work Item Type. I hope this helps.

I tried that. I see nothing in my Process Configuration that says "Change Management Type Binding" so I'm not sure how to test it.
I see that 2 steps are missing in my instructions. Sorry. Try this:
