Defining work item types and attributes
The set of work item types that is defined for a project
area depends on the process template that the project area uses. You
can define more work item types for your project in the Eclipse client.
About this task
Attention: When you change the associated workflow or attributes
of a type category, including the definition of a work item type,

Attention: If you delete a work item
type that is part of a change management type binding, you must manually
update the type binding. Otherwise, the Open Services for Lifecycle
Collaboration (OSLC) creation dialog for change management services
contains the incorrect URI, and an error similar to the following
one displays when you try to create a work item from the integrated
application:
Cannot create working copy
