TFS Eclipse plugin change default Check in Action to Associate

I have Eclipse Neon with TFS plugin

When I check pending change and I relate to work item

The problem is that the Check in Action by default is Resolve and not Associate

How do I change the default?

All I found online is about visual studio which didn't help me.

(Registry not worked HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio**11.0**\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Behavior @ResolveAsDefaultCheckinAction = "False")

Unfortunately, this could not be achieved in team explorer everywhere(TFS Eclipse plugin) for now.

As a workaround, you could edit the Work Item Template definition for the types of work items you are using (Bug, Task, etc.). Then remove the Check-In Action from the Work Item Template (WIT). Once the WITs have been updated into your team project this will be available for all users. Now when you add a related work item, the only option available is Associate. However, this solution has some pros and cons. Below is a few to consider:

Pros

  • This change only has to be made the Team Project and nothing has to be done on the clients.
  • If your team not resolve the work item, removing this option is not a big deal.

Cons

  • This would need to be applied to all current Team Projects and would need to update the Process Template for future Team Projects.
  • This removes the Resolve option for users, so there is no way to perform this action anymore.

More details about how to remove resolve option, please refer DaveShaw's answer in this question: How to disable auto done status for task in checkin
