Team Area assigned when creating a work item in Eclipse Way
I am working with RTC v 2.0.
I created a Project Area with the Eclipse Way template.
When creating a new defect, by default RTC assigns a Team Area to the defect. As far as I have checked, RTC assigns the first Team Area that was created, that is the created when creating the Project Area.
There is an icon that allows to change the defect to another Project Area, but I have not seen a way to change the Team Area.
Is it possible to choose which Team Area to assign to the defect or to change it?
Any hint will be appreciated.

Hi,
to get different choices to file work items against different teams you would create categories and assign them to teams.
To do so open the project editor go to the "Work Item Categories" Tab and start creating categories. Associate categories to team. Check the categories to show/hide them for "external" users.
e.g.
project/development/UI associated to the UI team
project/development/core associated to the core team
allows to assign work to the specific team.

Thanks for your answer, Ralf.
I didnt realize that when you assign the category to the work item, the GUI automatically changes the value in the Team Area field with the name of the team area corresponding to that category.
Nevertheless, if you make a query of work items showing the field team area it appears as n/a for every work item. It seems that RTC does not store the name of the associated team area. But it stores many other fields: such as: project area, category, owner, id, priority, and so on.
