TFVC Check-In Policies
TFVC projects can have check-in policies such as Build (Require last build was successful), Work Item (Require associated work item), Changeset comments policy (Require users to add comment to their check-in), etc. We are changing the way we store these policies on the server. This change will slightly affect TFVC users since they would need to initiate migration process from their side.
Phase I – User opt-in (Complete)
This is a phase in progress. We provided means for users to start their migration process. Migration from obsolete policies to active ones should be done by the project administrator.
Using Visual Studio
⚠️ Warning: Please ensure you updated Visual Studio to the latest version before proceeding (VS 2022, VS 2019 and VS 2017 with minimal versions 17.14 Preview 3, 17.13.6, 17.12.7, 17.10.13, 17.8.20, 16.11.46, 15.9.72 are supporting the new policies).
To create new policies using Visual Studio administrator should open Settings -> Team Project -> Source Control -> Check-in Policy. Next they should add new policy (without “Obsolete” mark) with the same parameters as old one:
