Hi All,

I am trying to create links between different work items FROM DIFFERENT REPOSITORIES.

First of all, is it possible ? If yes, then how can we do it?

I tried the below approach:


private static class WorkItemReferencesModification extends WorkItemOperation {
    private IWorkItemHandle fOpposite;

    public WorkItemReferencesModification(IWorkItemHandle opposite) {
        super("Modifying Work Item References",IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);
        fOpposite = opposite;
    }

    @Override
    protected void execute(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {
        // Create a new reference to the opposite item
        IItemReference reference = IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(fOpposite);
        // Add the new reference using a specific work item end point
        workingCopy.getReferences().add(WorkItemEndPoints.BLOCKS_WORK_ITEM, reference);
    }
}

It works fine in for the work items in the same repository but did not work for work items between different repositories. I tried creating reference from createReferenceFromURI which also did not work.

Any suggestions ?
