Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I have linked an article below that may help solve your issue. Here is what the article has to say:

YAML pipelines don't have a Create work item on failure setting like classic build pipelines. Classic build pipelines are single stage, and Create work item on failure applies to the whole pipeline. YAML pipelines can be multi-stage, and a pipeline level setting may not be appropriate. To implement Create work item on failure in a YAML pipeline, you can use methods such as the Work Items - Create REST API call or the Azure DevOps CLI az boards work-item create command at the desired point in your pipeline.

The following example has two jobs. The first job represents the work of the pipeline, but if it fails, the second job runs, and creates a bug in the same project as the pipeline.


# When manually running the pipeline, you can select whether it
# succeeds or fails.
parameters:
- name: succeed
  displayName: Succeed or fail
  type: boolean
  default: false

trigger:
- main

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

jobs:
- job: Work
  steps:
  - script: echo Hello, world!
    displayName: 'Run a one-line script'

  # This malformed command causes the job to fail
  # Only run this command if the succeed variable is set to false
  - script: git clone malformed input
    condition: eq(${{ parameters.succeed }}, false)

# This job creates a work item, and only runs if the previous job failed
- job: ErrorHandler
  dependsOn: Work
  condition: failed()
  steps: 
  - bash: |
      az boards work-item create \
        --title "Build $(build.buildNumber) failed" \
        --type bug \
        --org $(System.TeamFoundationCollectionUri) \
        --project $(System.TeamProject)
    env: 
      AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT: $(System.AccessToken)
    displayName: 'Create work item on failure'
