Cannot add Transition Links by Process Template Editor for Visual Studio 2019 and TFS 2018

I use a Visual Studio 2019 CE and a TFS 2018 Update 3.

I installed the Process Template Editor from the Marketplace: download site

Here you can edit the WITs like in the old editor. In the 'Workflow' tab I can edit and modify everything, I can even add new 'State' items. But It seems I cannot add a new 'Transition Link'. Has someone an idea how to make that work? Maybe I missed something or is this a bug?

Solution

  • Workflow

    Outside of the Work Item Types (WIT) pane there is a Toolbox tab that opens up a WITDesigner control panel.

    To make a transition link you must first select Transition Link in the control panel. You'll then move into the WIT pane where you must select the starting state, then select the state that's being transitioned to. Dragging the transition link is disabled.

    In other words, to add transition link, there should be a starting state and target state. Hope this helps. enter image description here
