Resolve Work Items

The Resolve Work Items step is used to resolve multiple work items at once, marking them as complete. This is useful to indicate that the deferred work has been processed with a certain outcome.

This guide assumes you’re already familiar with creating/getting work items. If not, please read the documentation for the Create Work Item and Get Work Items flow steps before continuing.

Usage

When creating a new flow step, select Resolve Work Items from the step Type dropdown.

Next, we’ll have to decide how to obtain the work item ids that we want to resolve, and enter the code to do so in the Work Item Ids expression field. This is almost always from the output of the Get Work Items flow step.

Finally, we need to decide how we want to resolve the items we’ve selected, and choose a matching value from the Resolution dropdown.

Wrapping Up

When our flow step executes, it will resolve all given work items with the selected status.

To view work items, select the Work Tracking tab in your workspace. You can also check out the Work Tracking documentation for more info.
