Correct answer: In the Development section of work item 123, select Add link and enter the pull request URL., Add #AB123 to the description of the pull request..
Why this is the answer
The correct options describe standard methods for linking pull requests to Azure Boards work items. 1. In the Development section of work item 123, select Add link and enter the pull request URL. This is a direct way to manually link from the work item itself. The "Development" section is designed for associating code-related artifacts like commits, pull requests, and branches. 2. Add AB123 to the description of the pull request. Azure Boards automatically recognizes specific keywords and patterns in pull request descriptions (and commit messages) to create links. Using AB123 (or AB123) in the pull request description will automatically link it to work item 123 in Azure Boards. The incorrect options are: Add a comment to work item 123 that contains the pull request URL. While you can add comments, Azure Boards does not automatically parse URLs in comments to create formal links in the Development section. From work item 123 open the Links tab, select Add link, choose Existing item, and enter the commit URL. The "Links" tab is for general links, but for code artifacts, the "Development" section is more appropriate. More importantly, the question asks to link to a pull request, not a commit.
