Dears,

I have a solution for this and I think it will be helpful for all. Whenever you want to import/update Team areas or Project areas to work items on RTC. You need to find the equivalent name for a project/team area on RTC. Just replace this equivalent name in the csv file you are going to use and that is it.

You have 2 ways to get this equivalent name:
- From the admin view on a project area click on a team area and form the URL displayed in address bar (it wil be like that TeamArea&itemId=_hjaWAXXXXXNItGq29)

- You can export some work items with many Team/project area IDs, you just need to select the Team area and/or project area attributes and select to show Internal values in exported sheet.

The name of a team area does not provide enough information to look it up, as you would have to know the parent project area as well. So you have to provide the ID or some mapping to the ID.

It's all about the answers!
