I'm trying to follow the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh739066(v=vs.110).aspx for "Work item types that appear on the task board page". I add <WORKITEMTYPE name="Bug" /> to the Task Category. However, when I import the categories I get an error message saying TF400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong? That is the only configuration that I have changed. If I remove the new line from the config and re-import it, everything works fine.

It's worth noting that I'm using the Scrum 2.0 process template.

I found my solution to this problem on the MSDN forums. I was using the Agile 6.1 process template though, not scrum 2.0. Essentially I just had to add the RemainingWork and Activity fields to my Bug work item type (in addition to adding the Bug work item type to the Task Category in the Categories.xml).
