Re-Mapping workflow to Work Item types
Hi
In RTC 3.0.1.2 I have Defect and Task using the Default workflow in the formal process. I need a different workflow for Task and hence duplicated the Default workflow to a new workflow. I then clicked on the link "Check workflow usage in the repository". It gave me a message that I have work items having a state which is not existing in the workflow. When I open a work item using the new workflow it shows it is "Uninitialized" and not able to change state. Before duplicating the workflow I already had few 100 work items of type task and these are now supposed to use the new work flow. Request to let me know how do I make the already created workitems use the new workflow. Regards V.Niranjan |

Niranjan, this worked for me:
There are alternative workflows:
As an alternative, you can do what you described above and open the work items. The current state will not be valid. If you change the work item and save it it will enter state new. You can manually set the state. V Niranjan selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Change the workflow back to the original one allows to get to the old states I think. You might even be able to still export the data if you have the work items in the new workflow. I did not test that.
