Changing Work Item Priority
All work items have a priority. Setting the work item priority enables you to sort your work list by priority. Also, scripts and processes can check the priority value and therefore perform actions based on a work item’s priority.
The priority is a numeric value indicating the relative importance of the work item. By default, the work item priority is 50. The valid range for work item priority is 0 - 100. You must enter a value in this range or an error is displayed.
- changeAllocatedWorkItemPriority-This system action enables a user to change priority on work items with a status of Allocated and that is allocated to you.
- changeAnyWorkItemPriority-This system action enables a user to change the priority on all work items.
