Predefined Work Items in Process Templates

Accepted answer

you have to export your process template from the project area where you defined it. This can be done in the Eclipse and, I believe in the Web UI. Then you can import the template with another name and use it instead of one of the other process templates when creating a new project.
You could also the capability to share a process to provide your process to other project areas that were created with the unconfigured process.
You can probably change the Project area initialization to create other work items of a different type too, if that is what you desire. In this case you have to change the process in your project area in the mentioned section, then, again, export the customized process as template and deploy it at your server.

I think I misunderstood your question. I would agree to schaomin xing, that you can probably not use work item templates in the project setup configuration shown above. The automation might also just be limited to work item types.

Hi Shaomin & Ralph,

Hello,

Hi Muktar,
You cannot point to a Work Item template, but you can use the Setup Project follow-up action in the Project Area Initialization section to define the work items.
Do the following:
Open your template in the editor
Click on Process Configuration tab
Navigate to Project Configuration > Project Area Initialization
Click Add.. under the Server follow-up actions
Select Setup Project
A new section with a UI for customizing the Setup Project action will appear
Click New Template
Enter the Summary, Type, Category path, Description of the work item you want created when the process template is instantiated
Save
