Is there a way to edit TFS 2013 Work Item Templates from the command line? I'm looking for this because I currently don't have access to VS2013 in a version that will allow me to use the Tools -> Process Editor functionality. It seems like it would be part of tfpt.exe, but I'm not seeing the functionality.

Beside DaveShaw's answer, Process Editor only available for Visual Studio Professional or higher, so you may have lower version? – Mohamed.Radwan -MVP Sep 24 '14 at 11:43

The Work Item Templates are just XML in a format known as WITD.
I only ever work on customising work items in XML these days.
The command to export is:
witadmin exportwitd /p:TeamProject /n:Bug /f:Bug.xml /collection:http://mytfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
Edit it with your favourite XML editor then import again using:
witadmin importwitd /p:TeamProject /f:Bug.xml /collection:http://mytfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
Run witadmin exportwitd /? or witadmin importwitd /?for further help.
