Q: 

Set a default iteration path for a work item type on TFS

Hi,

I try to tune my Team Foundation 2005 work items. We have 5 iterations paths in the "Bug" work item type.

I would like it to default to a specific value, for example Iterations.Iteration2 I tried to add a DEFAULT rule in the work item type editor but couldn't set the iteration path.

How can I do that?

A: 

Create a Work Item Template.

If you're using VS, you'll need the Power Tools. If you're using the web interface, the feature is already built-in.

Hi, RichardThanks for your answer. Actually I already have the VS Power Tools. I used it to configure my work items templates. I managed to set default values to other fields but not the "iteration path".

Works for me. Maybe it was a bug in the VS2005 version of the power tools that's since been fixed.

I'm getting the same error with TFS 2010 when I try to set a default rule for a work item type for a default iteration path.

It seems the rules engine for work items unfortunately doesn't allow this (as explained by this post and others I've seen around).
