Custom work item types on Team Services

This post introduces the capability to create custom work item types (WITs) in Team Services. It details the process of creating an inherited process, adding a new WIT with a name, description, and color, customizing its form layout and fields, and modifying its default states. It also explains how to add custom WITs to backlog and board levels and how to destroy custom WITs. The post notes that renaming a WIT is not currently possible but descriptions and colors can be updated later. It also mentions existing limitations for states in the completed category and that the feature was rolling out across Team Services.
