Azure change work item status after merging a PR

I'm trying to custom change the work item status after merging a PR. I've followed this guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/auto-complete-work-items-pull-requests?view=azure-devops#specify-the-workflow-state-of-linked-work-items but I cant manage it to work:

So It's supposed to change the Task state to "Pnte.D.Pre" but after accepting the merge, it is not changed. I've tried also bypassing PR restrictions to merge but it doesn't change: enter image description here

First I thought that using that dot syntax on my states was the problem, but even changing it to Active does nothing. Here are all my states: enter image description here

What is wrong with it?

Solution

  • I`ve tested your case, and it works:

    Can you check this setting on the repository?

    Additionally, check mandatory fields in the target state.. if there are such fields, a pull request can not move a work item.
