Autocomplete work items with pull requests

Autocomplete work items
As shown in the following image, check the box to Complete linked work items after merging. The system defaults to your selection for future PRs.
In the following circumstances, the system doesn't automatically update the work item state to Done, Closed, or Completed categories for the work item type (WIT):
- The work item, whose WIT is managed with the Inheritance process model, is already in the Resolved state. In this instance, the system doesn't update the State. For example, if a bug derived from the Agile process is in a Resolved state, the system doesn't transition it to Closed.
- The work item is already in the Completed state. No further transition is required.
- The WIT includes workflow field rules that prevent the work item from advancing to the next state. For instance, a rule might require that another field be defined when closing the work item.
- For on-premises deployments and Azure Boards Hosted process model, you must modify the workflow to specify actions (ACTION element) to take place when transitioning the workflow. For more information, see Change the workflow for a WIT, Specify Actions.
For more information, see Customize your work tracking experience.
Specify the workflow state of linked work items
To transition a work item to a specific workflow state, you can enter the information in the pull request description. Prefix the #ID with a valid workflow state for the mentioned work item.
Note
This feature requires Azure DevOps Server 2020.1 update or later version.
The following example shows user stories that have transitioned - one to the Resolved state and the other to the Review state. Also, two tasks are marked as Done.
