Add link back to Work Item in TFS after code review complete/rejected

It would be good if the code review could log back to the original work item that a code review has taken place. When doing a review, it shows me the Work Items attached to the changeset (this is nice). However, when the review is done (accepted or rejected), there is no log in the Work Item that the review took place.

This has currently got to be done manually, would be great to get this full link.

Is there any way to link it or log something in the history of the work item(s)?

    The ability to provide trace-ability to TFS is critical in our development environment that undergoes rigorous audits.

    This should be a simple implementation. The Review Assistant already has the ability to have a WI linked in the Review. The process would be to simply add a "hyperlink" to the attached Work Item when the Review is Closed. The hyperlink would be a reviewassistant:// link which the system already uses which will direct the Review Board to pull up the Review.
    Should be very simple really.
    If this doesn't get incorporated into the next set of builds (or before our license runs out in December) we're switching to VS 2015 profession. Code Review is now available for the cheaper licenses.

    YES PLEASE! We are running an Agile process but we need to be CMMI Level 3 compliant. And the easiest way to fail a SCAMPI appraisal is to not be able to show that you did something (like peer reviews). It would be great if it linked back to the Work Item's history and added in the link to the review (e.g. devartreview://<server>/show?project=<project>&review=<id>)

    Thanks!

    This is an absolute must for project management. In the TFS tools, I want to see work-items or some sort of link that links to the review, or at least indicates whether a review was completed.

    The pre-commit rule is nice, but it can be overriden, and the only way to see this is to review the commit history manually.

    Good idea - the work item needs some traceability that the review has taken place.
