We have an on-prem TFS 2018 Update 2 instance and are running into an issue during this workflow:
I just noticed this yellow error message popup after clicking Approve:
VS1640134: Cannot complete Product Backlog Item 10275 because there is no transition from 'Committed' with the action "Microsoft.VSTS.Actions.Checkin". Learn more
(1 more work item will not be completed)
I can't find anything on that error code VS1640134 and we're just using regular agile scrum work items without any added or custom fields.
The message referenced this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/customize/reference/automate-field-assignments-state-transition-reason?view=vsts
VSTS twitter support pointed me to this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/work-items/guidance/scrum-process-workflow?toc=%2Fvsts%2Fwork%2Fwork-items%2Ftoc.json&bc=%2Fvsts%2Fwork%2Fbreadcrumb%2Ftoc.json&view=vsts#track-progress
But neither seem to explain how to resolve the problem. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
UPDATE: After forgetting about this problem it was pushed back up on my agenda. I reviewed the answer that's now marked as accepted and that process generally worked. I made the following edits to the default items:
Project Backlog Item XML:
<TRANSITION from="New" to="Done">

<DEFAULTREASON value="Work finished" />
</REASONS>

According to the provided link, you need to export your PBI's XML, and in the transition "from Committed" to another state you need to add these lines:
<ACTIONS>
<ACTION value="microsoft.vsts.actions.checkin"/>
</ACTIONS>
For example:
<TRANSITION from="Committed" to="Ready To Build">
<REASONS>
....
</REASONS>
<ACTIONS>
<ACTION value="microsoft.vsts.actions.checkin"/>
</ACTIONS>
</TRANSITION>
Then you need to import back the XML file into the TFS.
