retagged Aug 05 '16, 2:35 p.m. by Ken Tessier (841●1●7) I have used CSV imports in the past to successfully create links between work items (whether new or existing). I now have a user who would like to perform a CSV import to remove a link from existing work items (actually they want to change all of the "Blocks" links to "Depends On" links). When I tried to do this for them, I was able to add the desired link, but was unable to remove the previous one. So exporting a query for the existing work items and their relationship to one another, it looks like this:
"Id","Depends On","Blocks" We tried changing this to look like this: "Id","Depends On","Blocks" After this import, both work items block each other AND depend on each other. So the desired link was added, but the other link was not removed. Is this not possible via CSV import? |

I've submitted Need to update Importing work items from a CSV file help topic to describe updating links (397910) to update the help to describe the "Replace existing links with newly imported values" checkbox option.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
