How can I disable associating changes and work items in a TFS 2015 build?

In my TFS and VS2013 xaml builds, I could conditionally call the activity

AssociateChangesetsAndWorkItems

based on a custom flag set at queue time. I'm attempting to convert my (heavily customized) xaml builds to the new build system but my changes are always associated. I haven't been able to find a flag or other way to conditionally disable it.

Is there a way to conditionally disable associating changes and work items to a build with the new TFS 2015 build system? Hopefully, I'm just missing something simple.

There is no such setting in TFS 2015 new build system by default. Could you let us know why do you want to disable AssociateChangesetsAndWorkItems? - Cece Dong - MSFT
@Cece-MSFT Thank you for your response. One use case of this feature is to be able to launch a build just to test code changes but don't associate anything yet. I know I can work around this by creating and maintaining a second build definition but I'd rather be able to control the association step like I can in xaml builds. Thank you. - mw2785
