I am creating or changing a work item and like to enforce one parameter change value to another parameter.

Example 1:  I am changing parameter "Planed For" and like to enforce to change "Owner" parameter.
Also, would it also be possible to populate the choice of owner based on "Planed For:" parameter?

Example 2:  I am changing the Status parameter from Development to Testing and like to force to change the Owner parameter.

Also, how to make work item parameters a mandatory parameter?

Thanks

 Interesting, I forgot the Precondition Implied Attributes that does a little bit based on state change and changes of the category that force team area changes.

 Calculated values could theoretically be used. The links from https://jazz.net/forum/questions/260479/how-to-auto-fill-work-item-parameters all apply. Note that 

  • The calculated value interferes with manual selection that means it has to return the current value if the value must not change
  • The JavaScript API is limited in the attribute types supported and for complex types such as owner, you have to use UUID's
  • All this stuff has performance implications

Note that I personally think it is not a good idea to remove the owner when changing the planned for. In the long run the users will probably not be trilled by that.
