Changing type

It may happen that the work item type that you initially have chosen is not the proper one. For example, you classified a customer complaint as a bug but it turned out to be a wish.

To change the type of an existing work item right mouse click it in any view and select Change type. A list of possible work item type appears:

 

ChangingWorkItemType

 

Select the destination type. You will be asked for confirmation:

ChangingWorkItemType2

If you press Yes then the type of the work item will be changed. The fields available in the source type but not available in the destination type will be hidden. The field from the destination type that were missing in the source type will get an empty or default value.
