Error creating work item from work item template

I'm using RTC 2.0.0.2 RC2. I have a work item template that worked well in 2.0.0.2 M3 but does not work in RC2.

When I create a work item based on the template, the dialog box asks to "assign template variable values" for the "category" field, but I'm not able to select a category on the "Select" button, even though my process template has a category "Backlog" defined.
The error message is: "category: Variable cannot be bound to internal attribute."

Even the sample work item template found in the page below doesn't work when I try to create work items using that template: http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WorkItemTemplates

Any insight will be appreaciated.

Thanks,
Ricardo.

I was poking around and I think I found the issue and a way to solve it.

In the previous milestone build of RTC the work item template xml file defined the category variable in the following way: ${filedAgainst:category}.
I realized that in this new RC build the definition of the category variable in the xml file is slightly different (it uses a capital C): ${filedAgainst:Category}.

I changed that in my old WI template file and it works just fine now.

Please update the documentation/example on the link in my previous note, since it still makes use of old format (lower case c).

Thank you,
Ricardo.

I have updated the Wiki page accordingly.

Please note that we cannot guarantee compatibility between milestones
and integration builds under all circumstances.

Releases like 2.0, 2.0.0.1, 2.0.0.2 are (and must be) compatible, however.
