"In Progress" state on Tasks and Risks

Hi

I am newbie to Team System but is there any reason why "In Progress" has been removed or filtered out from Task while it exists in Bug.?

My problem is that I have a task which can either be active or closed but what if I want to know if the task is "In Progress".

I could use "In Progress" to know if somebody is working on the task

Kind regards,

Ayman

Well, actually it doesn't exist, but you can modify the work Item type, and add the new state to the possible values, check out articles about personalization of work items template on MSDN and also on process template forums, I would recommend you download the latest Visual Studio SDK from MSDN where you have a lot of info, and also a tool called Process Template Editor from imaginets (it's free), for the work of modify the template.

Thanks a lot fot your answer. I am wondering why they removed the "In Progress" state as it would be rather benificial to keep

track of if a developer is in progress with a task or not.
