Work Item Associations

Work items may be associated with other activities such as commits, builds and reviews. The Work Item Detail view displays this information in the "Associations" section:

Commits — Commits can be directly associated to work items by referencing the work item artifact ID in the commit message. To explicitly link a commit with a work item, prepend to your commit message:

[<artifact_id>]

where the artifact_id is the ID of the work item in the originating source. You may specify more than one work item in your commit message.
Builds — Builds are associated with work items through the commit associations that they both share in common. Builds are identified by the source display name (user inputted) and build ID. Builds are linked to the corresponding Build Detail page. See Build detail for information about the build details.
Code reviews — Work items are associated with reviews through the commit associations that they both share in common. See Associate code commits with other items.
