  • I assume your issue may have something to do with your custom process template. Azure Devops supports default processes like Basic, Agile, Scrum, and CMMI, also it supports customize an inherited process.

    Check which process model do you select when you create the project, I think the issue would go away if you select the default process to create the project. And that issue occurs when you try to create one project based on bad process model.

    When you create the project, test with different WIT and you can locate the bad one:
