In Azure Devops, using Customize option, you can add/modify fields except the Title, State, Reason, Area, Iteration Path. Is there a way I can modify a custom work item type to remove these fields as well?

No, these are system fields. There are headers elements that we'll have on each work item type:

  1. Fields: Work item ID, Title, Assigned To, State, Reason, Area Path, Iteration Path, and tags
  2. Pages: History page, Links page , and Attachments page.

System controls like Area Path, Iteration Path and Reason can be hidden from work item form using Rest API. In additon to hide them, lables to these controls can also be edited. You can not hide Title and State. Here are the steps:

  1. Get the process ID

    Get https://dev.azure.com/{Organization} /_apis/work/processes?api-version=6.0-preview.1 enter image description here

  2. Update a System Control

    PATCH https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/work/processes/{processId}/workItemTypes/{witRefName}/layout/systemcontrols/{controlId}?api-version=6.0-preview.1

Request Body:

{
  "visible": false
}
