How to move one custom workitem type into another project area in RTC 6.0.3.
Accepted answer
The only recommended way of "copying a work item type" that is recommended is to recreate the type in the other project area.
Use Process sharing if you want to standardize on a process and to be able to change that process over time.
It is technically possible to copy/paste parts of the process xml, but that is very error prone and can damage your project areas process, so it is not suggested.
One other answer
Each work item template is stored as xml file in the project area attachments (tab "Links" of project area editor in the eclipse client).

Hello Marko Tomljenovic,
I hope these two pictures make it clear.
Thank you very much.
Hello Marko Tomljenovic,
I had imported the template in tg project area,but still I am not able to get new custom work item in tg project area.
I see some confusion here. Are you sure what you are trying to create? A new work item "type" or a new work time "template"? Marko's method is for the "template", assuming the same work time "type" is in both the source and target project areas.
Donald,
I want to move new work item type i.e. my own work item (schoolDatabase work item),from one project area into another project area.I already moved it by using process sharing and by editing in xml file of process configuration source file.I tried by exporting custom work item template from one project area and then to import that template in another project area,but I am not able to do so,because in these project area some of the attribute is not present.
You cannot copy a work item type into a new project area by importing a work item template into that project area. A work item template just refers to work item types ... if that work item type does not exist in the target project area, then you will just get an error when you try to instantiate that work item template. Marko's answer above was in response to your original question about how to copy a work item template.
Thank you everyone.
@ Geoffrey Clemm can we Copy the work item type from one project to another without using work item template scenario
No, there is no way that I would recommend to copy a work item type from one project area to another.
