I want to change the state of a defect automatically to "In progress" as soon as the first changeset has been delivered. Is that possible?

Our developers have asked for this same functionality as well. Could this be done via a custom follow-up action tied to, say, the "Save Change Set Links and Comments" operation? The operation participant could iterate through all associated work items for a change set, find ones that are in "New" and switch them to "In progress".

it would have to be done via a custom followup as the system doesn't provide this function out of the box

can such a follow-up action be defined  in the process configuration, or do i need to code it in a plugin?

you will have to code a plugin.

there is no builtin function to do this..

separately.. wasn't it 'in progress' long before the changeset appeared? ie, wasn't someone working on it? (discovery and code creation and unit testing).

our workflow requires the workitem move to Implemented state when the changeset is delivered. (after review, after in progress...)

and the changset should not be delivered (to the shared stream) til AFTER the review is completed successfully.

sure - in order to check people are already working on it - but as a matter of fact most developers do not change the defect's state until they actually finish the implementation, which is when they set the defect to "relsolved". So my thinking was that there could (should?) be a way to automate at least the change to the "In progress" state when a changeset is delivered - because at least at this point in time the system actually knows that there is work being done.
