Question

We have introduced a “Code review” state for tasks, between “In progress” and “Done”. When moving from “In progress” to “Code review” we would like to clear/unassign System.AssignedTo but I can’t figure out how. Does anyone know where to put the logic in the WIT xml and what it should look like?

Thanks,
Mansos

Answer 1

Open your schema in an XML editor. Go down to the <TRANSITIONS> part and add

<TRANSITION from="In Progress" to="Code Review">
   <FIELDS>
      <FIELD name="Assigned To">
         <EMPTY />
      </FIELD>
   <FIELDS>
</TRANSITION>

Make sure you don’t have any <REQUIRED> for that field anywhere in the definition (there are a number of ways you can have that rule).
