We recently upgraded from VS 2010 and TFS 2010 to VS 2012 Update 1 and TFS 2012 Update 1. I noticed that the build string format has changed in TFS 2012 to prefix the build definition name in the build string. The problem is that when a new build is done, the build string added to the Global List is different than the string placed in the work item via the Associate Changesets And Work Items activity. This essentially results in the Integrated In Build control of a work item showing a string that is not in its drop down list (which is populated from the Global List). Then when querying for all of the work items in a particular build, our staff now have to query for 2 separate strings; one with the build definition prefix, and one without it.

For more information, please see the post on the MSDN forums at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsworkitemtracking/thread/4d0f755e-43d0-4571-b59a-ee0589a4c53a/

Steps to reproduce

In your build, use the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow.Activities.UpdateBuildNumber to assign a custom build string format to your build. The associated work items will be tagged using this new custom build string format for the build name, but the Global List will still have the build name with the default build string format entered into it.

Actual results

The build string format (i.e. build name) automatically entered into associated work items by the Associate Changesets And Work Items activity in build is not consistent with the build name entered into the Global List.

Expected results

The build string format (i.e. build name) automatically entered into associated work items by the Associate Changesets And Work Items activity in build should be consistent with the build name entered into the Global List.
