how to preserve workitem external id when importing from CSV?
![]()
It was discussed in https://jazz.net/forum/questions/128225/how-to-upgrade-existing-workitems-from-csv-file but I have decided to create new one.
I have RTC 4.0.3. 1. I have following CSV file: "Type";"Id";"Status";"Priority";"Severity";"Summary";"Owned By";"Created By" "Task";"1000000";"New";"Unassigned";"Normal";"Define permissions";"admin";"admin" Id - is identifier from external system I use import from CSV option. After import there is created new work item number 98 (I leave Id value as 1000000) 2. I modify only summary field in CSV file 3. Use import from CSV option to import work item. Select "Update Matched Work items" option. What is => New work item number 99 is created What I would like to have => summary of work item number 98 is modified. How can I acheive that? How should I modify my CSV file/importing options to achieve what I want to? |

Hello !
No.. the only matching done for Update import is on the ID column, where the data must match existing RTC workitem IDs (unless u specify create if not found)
