Have you synched the WIs to make the existing ones pick up these changes?

Not sure I follow (so I guess the short answer is no :) ) Where does one do that? (I'm not getting hits on any Google searches) TIA

Hi

Found this in Help:

To manually update existing work items with new or modified custom attributes:
Run a query so that the query results contain all the work items that you want to update.
(Note: Do not select any relationships to be shown in the query results. If relationships are shown, the Type icon is not displayed and you cannot complete these steps. To clear all relationships shown, in the Work Items view menu, select Relationships, click Deselect all, and then click OK.)

In the Work Items view, select the work items that you want to modify.
In the row of one of the selected work items, right-click the Type icon and select Synchronize attributes.

No problem. I find the Help is really good - but with a Q like yours, I needed Jorge's explanation to find the answer for you :-)
