Custom Completed State Category - now supported in inherited process templates, but fails during migration

[monteholyfield]

We are now able to create a custom value for the 'Completed' State Category. However, this fails with the following error when running the process-migrator. In this case, I created a Completed State named 'Approved' in the source work item template.

@monteholyfield hey sorry can't commit when I can look deep into this but can you attach exported xml? My best guess at this point stays the code shall not try to update the value on server but it's likely marked as 'non default' during export because of the new feature you mentioned on completed category customization.

Hi Liang,

Thank you for response.

Is there a way to export XML from an inherited process template? I see this section in the exported JSON from the process-migrator. The yellow ‘Approved’/’Completed’ value is the one causing trouble. Let me know if you need to see the entire exported JSON file.

We're hitting the exact same problem with process-migrator - for a custom state in "Completed" category on a custom work item type, even though this works beautifully in the web UI of AzDO:
