Can I associate a change set with a work item afte

Question

If I deliver a change set to a stream and not associate it with a work item can the change set be associated with a work item after it has been delivered ?

Answer 1

Yes.

The changeset itself is closed upon delivery to the stream.
But its associated work-item(s) is not: you can add or remove one or several work-items in association with the delivered changeset.

That being said, I have a special hook which makes that association mandatory on deliver: ie, you cannot deliver without having first associated your change set first to a Work Item.

I am not sure if that hook is a custom one for my organization, but here is where you can check if it is there:

It is in the Project Area administration, under

Team Configuration / 
Operation Behavior / 
Source Control / 
Deliver (client) / 
Preconditions and follow-up actions are configured for this operation / 
Require Work Items and comments
