Question

I am trying to follow this article to do the same for adding a new State to a particular project’s Bug work item. By default I can only see . I wanted to add a new state, “On Hold”

But I perhaps followed it wrong and ended up getting

The error says “Open Transition Active~On Hold to add at least one Reason.” How do I open that transition and where do I add one reason. What is the reason it is talking about? I only want to add a new state.

Thanks for your time…

Answer 1

Double click the Active~On Hold Transition , select the Reasons tab and type in at least one reason.

After saving the .wit file, you must click Refresh from the Team Explorer menu in order to see changes.
