Automatic State Transition based on linked Work Item State
One of the things which I feel has value in the process templates forTFS 2011 is the state changing based on the linked child items. Like how the hours aggregate up from the linked child work items to the parent item, if there is a way to get the parent work item state to transition based on the linked child item state it would be good. An example of this is when a child item state is set to "In Progress" if the parent work item is then set to "In Progess" automatically.

I forgot to mention it would be nice to have this out of the box and not have to maintain our custom service.

We wrote a service to do the opposite as well. When all child items are closed we automatically close the parent PBI. It helps to keep all PBI's in sync with its actual state.

Thanks for submitting. We have this one on our backlog. It does keep getting pushed down, however, so any information on why this is important would be helpful.
