Changeset comment leave the workitem off?

Is there anyway to leave the workitem title off of the changeset comment. This really clutters it up and, since that is always first, it is much harder to find the actual comment.

I'm using 3.0.1.

please help?

a little more info... our operational behavior requires both an associated work item and a comment, so all of our changesets have the associated work item title in the comment... very annoying!

You'll have to open an enhancement for this. For the time being, Pending Changes has preferences to show/hide the work item on change sets (I think outgoing changes only). The Change Explorer doesn't have anything to filter out the work item.

When you say "your operational behavior requires both an associated work
item and a comment". The only reason I can see requiring both is if the
change-set comment is supposed to have more detailed information than is
specified in the work item summary. In that case, having the same
string in both would violate the policy. On the other hand, if it is
acceptable to have the same string in both the comment and the work item
summary, then the policy requiring both is just wrong, and should be
changed. Please feel free to have whoever is setting that policy give
me a call if they need to be convinced on why it is just wrong.

Cheers,
Geoff
