I’ve created a couple of small pull requests in Azure Repos. However, I forgot to link them to the relevant work items, so the pull requests have failed their checks. It looks like it should be easy to retrospectively link a pull request to a work item but it’s not working for me.
On the taskboard I have a user story, Id 200258, with a sub-task, Id 214388:
When I attempt to link the pull request to a work item, however, it only shows a few work items in the Work items dropdown list:
and if I enter the Id I want to find, it can’t find it:
The work item I want to find actually flashes up in the dropdown list momentarily, before the No items found
message appears.
Is there any way to link the pull request to a work item that doesn’t appear in the Work item dropdown list?
