How do you configure things that are labeled 'unconfigured'?

How do you configure things in the Project Area->Process Configuration->Team Configuration->Operation Behavior, that are currently marked (unconfigured)?

What I would like to do is force a state change of a work item on the delivery of a change set that contains that work item.

I can explain how to configure things, but out of the box, process cannot be
configured to force a work item state change on deliver.

I'm not sure if this is what you are after, but unrelated to process, there
does happen to be a "deliver and resolve work item" in the context menu of a
change set.

Anyway, to configure preconditions and follow-up actions for an operation:

Once you have selected "Operation Behavior" in the tree on the left of the
Project Area editor, you should see a table with roles across the top and
operations down the left.

Find Source Control / Deliver (client or server) on the left side and select
a cell in the grid for the role you want to configure. Once you select the
cell, the checkbox "Preconditions and follow-up actions are configured for
this operation" will enable. Check this box.

A little further down in the editor, you can choose the
preconditions/follow-up actions by clicking the Add... button.

As I said, there is no built in follow-up action to do what you asked, but
if you want to write code, you may be able to implement a follow-up action
to do the work item manipulation upon deliver. If this is where you are
headed, let me know and I'll provide further details.

Ok. Can you tell me why things are labled "unconfigured" and not accessable?

The Process Configuration editor presents to you which aspects of the
system can be configured and also gives you the detail editors to do so.

If your process does not make any statement about an aspect this aspect
is not configured by the process at hand. We represent this state with
the label decoration 'unconfigured'.

Can you be more specific about the particular item that is unconfigured? A
screenshot would make it easier for me to see the issue you are asking
about.

It may also help me to know what template you created your project area
from. (i.e. Eclipse Way, Agile, Simple Team, etc...)

In general, at the project area level, you would not see the Operation
Behavior node as unconfigured. At the team area level, by default, there is
no process customization. After customizing the process in the team area,
you typically do see the Operation Behavior as unconfigured because it is
inheriting from the project area.

Like I said, its much easier to help if you can show a screenshot and
pinpoint the item your question refers to.

Thanks
