Changing reportable attributes for existing Process template

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to change the 'reportable' attributes of several fields on an existing Process template from 'detail' to 'dimension'. When I try and upload the Process template, it gives me the following error:
"Actual reporting settings for the field MyCustomType.MyCustomField are different from those specified in the XML. Changing these settings is prohibited."

I've seen a couple of posts that seem to refer to TFS 2005 around this - is there any way to do this in TFS 2008?

Answer 1

There is no way to change the reportability of a field in TFS 2008.  We're adding support for this in 2010, but it doesn't exist yet in 2008.
