TFS 2017 cannot find new Work Item Type

Question

I have just added a new work item type using the witadmin tool:

witadmin.exe importwitd /collection:\"http://mytfsserver.com:8080/tfs/myprojcol\" /p:\"myproj\" /         


        

Answer 1

It is a caching problem.

Try running:

witadmin.exe rebuildcache /collection:"http://mytfsserver:8080/tfs/myprojcol"

Afterwards you should see your recently added WIT.
