problem editng workitems using VSTS2010 pointing to TFS 2012

Question

We recently upgraded our TFS server to 2012 but due to hardware limitations I am still on VSTS 2010 pro with the 2012 compatability patch applied.

When  I make modifications to work item type of Bug. I am getting the the following error message:

Failed to save the 'Bug" Work Item Type to the server.

TF223006: You cannot modify the definition of a work item tracking object with your version of command-line tools as they are not compatible with the Web services for Team Foundation Server. Contact your system administrator to determine how to upgrade your installation of Team Explorer to a version compatible with Team Foundation Server

Thank you for an help,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your post!

You need to use the same version of VSTS and TFS. You need to upgrade your VSTS to 2012 with Team Explorer 2012.

Hope it helps!
