Azure DevOps - Change PBI state when PBI is added to a sprint / iteration

I want to set up a rule in my custom Azure DevOps process so that when we're doing sprint planning and we're looking at the PBI backlog with the Planning side pane open, when a PBI is dragged to a sprint, the state of the PBI would be set to 'Committed'.

My first thought was to set up a rule on the PBI so that when the Iteration is changed, set the status to Committed. But the iteration field is not available in the rules UI - as far as I can tell, this is because in DevOps rules are converted to SQL and iteration is an incompatible field type (maybe).

It looks like there was a feature request for this, but it's been rejected by the Azure DevOps team.

I can't help thinking that setting / changing the state of a PBI when that PBI is added to an iteration would be a very common use-case.

Does anyone have a workaround or solution for this? Or is it just a case of having to change the state of the PBIs manually as a bulk task?

Iteration path fields is not included in the custom rule field list. And this requirement has been reported as feature request to the azure devops team:

Allow work item rules to set Iteration Path

Does anyone have a workaround or solution for this? Or is it just a case of having to change the state of the PBIs manually as a bulk task?

For a workaround, you can consider using the extension: Work item form one click actions

You can set the rule in the extension for the target work item type in Project Settings -> Extensions -> WIT One Click Actions.

For example: You can set the triggers and actions.

Then you can modify the work item field and click the target rule once.

It will then evaluate the work item and change the state.
