'Transition error when checking-in work item for VS2015

Here's the error I was getting in VS2015: "One or more checked work items failed the transition testing due to invalid field values. Please correct the values and retry the check-in."



Solution 1:[1]

In my case, I was forced to do the Associate since I got the error message. When I went into the Work Item in VSTS I manually resolved it and it prompted me to set a required field. Were that required field set, the Resolve from Visual Studio would have worked.

Solution 2:[2]

I faced same issue while check in from visual studio.

Change the related work item as associate instead of resolve from visual studio solved my issue.

As a workaround : Create a new task/bug in your VSTS for whichever story. Then assign your check in to that work-item. That's what the error is somewhat saying... Difficult for me to decipher at first, hope this helps others.

You need to determine the task status you have created for your TASK. You should set your task state -- Development or other, You get an error because "state" is "new"

I'm using DevOps 2019 on-prem and I had 1 little update to share.

I created the Bug on the Web Portal and kept it open, added the Ticket Number for the checkin and got the above error.

EASY FIX :

  • Remove Ticket from Checkin
  • Close Ticket in Web Portal
  • Re add Ticket
  • Checkin
  • ALL IS GOOD.
