rtc api - create links parent/child ( 5.0.2 )

Hello,

I need to import about 400 work items into the RTC ( integration from another system )

I saw that there is an option to upload CSV file via the eclipse client and it works perfectly.

the problem is that I need to create a parent/child connections between some of the work items.

any ideas on how I can accomplish that.

is there any API that supports that?

many thanks

Hi, 

Depending on the version of RTC it may be possible however you need to be specific in terms of the csv and the Eclipse import Options;

Ref: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/139886/import-workitems-from-csv-including-parentchild-links-rtc-402-and-later

RTC is smart
RTC is able to use any ID in the import file to determine the link to set, but use actual/real (new) IDs during import.
So here is a demo.csv:

Id,Type,Summary,Filed Against,Parent
1233,Task,aParent,aCategory
1234,Task,aChild,aCategory,#1233

I don't think that's possible using the CSV import.

The API supports that. Have a look at
