In your browser, go to your Azure DevOps organization:

In the left menu, select the project named Project1.

Locate the main branch in the list.

Click on the three dots (...) next to main and select Branch policies.

Step 4: Configure Branch Policies for main

This ensures that every PR has at least one linked work item.
