How to change check in policy behaviour with tfs power tools 2012

Question

trouble again with Team Foundation Server Power Tools 2012. I just installed VS2012 and the power tools. We use check in policies. My problem: when I associate a ticket with a check in (as my policy demands), the ticket is set to 'resolved'. I don't want this behaviour, does anybody know how to change it?

thank you

Answer 1

You should be able to use the process editor included in power tools to make that change.

Here is a blog post detailing several ways to make this change:

Changing the default Check-In Option

Answer 2

Check the WITD of the ticket (work item).

The XML will have Action="Check-in" under the transition "Active" To "resolved". Remove this action. That's it.
