Solution

  • The Automated value for Automation Status field is auto set when the test case work item is associated to a test case method. It seems your Test case work item is not associated to test case.

    If the Test case work item is not associated. You will only get 'Not Automated' and 'Planned' options in the Automation Status field.

    Check document Associate automated tests with test cases to associate your test cases.

    When the Test case work item is associated to a test case. You can see the associated test case in the Associated Automation tab. See below:
