TFS 2018 on-premise.
I have created a new Work Template for bugs from /_admin/_work?type=Bug&_a=templates
which pre-populates a number of fields on a new bug when clicked-through via a URL posted elsewhere.
What I'd like to be able to do is create the new work item based on the template from the + button on the kanban board.
How do I bind that + > Bug link to my Work Template?
Sorry it's not able to do this.
Q: How do I set a default template for a team?
A: The feature to set a default template for a team isn't a supported feature at this time.
You could only
The +
Bug will only open a Bug work item with default template. Then you could choose the template later.
More detail please kind refer our official doc here: Use templates to add and update work items
Ok, that's what we've ended up doing; applying the template once the bug is created. Thanks Patrick.
