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

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:

One up for the link, very interesting. But I don't really like what I read there... – anhoppe Jul 26 '13 at 15:42
Ok, I'll rate this as answer. Really seems an issue, many people complaining. See this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/3629326e-a858-41a7-bafa-f5e4233a7bba/vs-2012-checkin-work-item-association-type-is-not-defaulted-to-associate – anhoppe Jul 29 '13 at 07:34

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.

I fear don't have access to the WITD. I guess you need access to the server? – anhoppe Mar 27 '14 at 08:22
