Solution

  • This is not a user configured setting, it's a system limitation. Same on Azure DevOps 2019 latest version and Azure DevOps Service.

    When you added 9 style rules, you will see this promote message: you can add up to 10 style rules tfs

    When you added 10 style rules, you will not able to add any new style rules, the "+" button will also turn gray.

    If you wan to add a new style rule. You have to delete a redundant style rule, choose the actions icon enter image description here and select Delete. There is not any configuration to expand this limitation.
