Hi,

I have faced the issue while importing the data into RTC, imported data which is having Parent column and selected option create new work item in Import utility.

Issue observed:

Parent linking was not happening for objects for the appropriate new work item ids got created from 1st row to 99th row but it linked 100th row data to all parent ids as children . I have attached the screenshot. links of children

I think it is a bug is there any comments on these.

I tried to reproduce your scenario. But for me it works fine. Are you sure you have all required columns in the CSV file?

If you are not sure about columns and related names create a query that contains all the information you wanna import. Export csv and replace content. Then import data and it should wok fine.

Here is an example what I did and what worked fine.

Type,Id,Summary,Owned By,Status,Priority,Severity,,Parent,Children
Task,84,1Define Phase Plan,jazzy jazz,New,Unassigned,Normal,,,
Task,85,1Define the initial Product Backlog,jazzy jazz,New,Unassigned,Normal,,,
Task,86,1Define a new build,jazzy jazz,New,Unassigned,Normal,,,
Task,87,1Share code with Jazz Source Control,jazzy jazz,New,Unassigned,Normal,,,
Task,88,1Define phases,jazzy jazz,New,Unassigned,Normal,,,

Hi,

Thanks for trying the scenario. Here, you have mentioned Id column are you creating the new work items or updating the ids. Updating the Ids worked fine for me but creating new work items and linking those work items to the parent id didnt work.

I created new WI from my csv file. If you create new WI the ID itself is used to find the related parent for the children. I did a 2nd test with attached data. The interesting column is the last one (parent). Here you relate the children with the parent. Can ou give my data a try in a test environment?
