Customizing TFS Web Portal Capacity (Work Details)

Long story short, someone changed something in our TFS a few years ago and now I am trying to undo what they did. I have spent the last week or so combing the internet and digging through the TFS XML files trying to figure out how they did this.

This is what I need (Work Details in hours)

This is in hours

and not like this (Work Details in points)

This is in points

Look at WorkItem Tracking\Process\ProcessConfiguration.xml file

Use this command to export the common ProcessConfiguration

witadmin.exe exportcommonprocessconfig /collection:http://SERVERNAME:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection 
         /p:PROJECTNAME  /f:.\processconfig.xml

Change Points to h in this line 

<TypeField refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork" type="RemainingWork" format="{0} points" />

And use this command to import the common ProcessConfiguration

witadmin.exe importcommonprocessconfig /collection:http://SERVERNAME:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection 
         /p:PROJECTNAME  /f:.\processconfig.xml

You need to do the reverse operation described here. Basically exporting the process configuration and changing the Unit specified in the formatting of the remaining work field.

Change: 

<TypeField refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork" 
type="RemainingWork" format="{0} sp" />

back to:

<TypeField refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork" 
type="RemainingWork" format="{0} h" />

To change it export the Process Configuration:

witadmin.exe exportprocessconfig /collection:http://SERVERNAME:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection 
             /p:PROJECTNAME  /f:.\ProcessConfiguration.xml

apply the above change and import it again:

witadmin.exe importprocessconfig  /collection:http://SERVERNAME:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection 
                /p:PROJECTNAME  /f:.\ProcessConfiguration.xml
