RTC 6.0.2 Import massively Work Items including IDs

0
Bledar Cili (3●1●1●4) | asked Aug 08 '17, 10:34 a.m.

Hello community,

I have a question related to:  "Importing work items from a CSV file" as described here https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_importing_work_items_csv_file.html
  
Is it possible to assign a predefined ID to the newly imported/created Work Item? So instead of letting RTC assign the ID (according to the built in rules) I wish I could assign the ID through the CSV file itself. 

Thanks in advance.
Bledar

Hi Bledar,

You do not want to force Work Item ID's or this will cause issues;   I've seen a way to do this but it causes issues to the built in rules and then re-sets the numbering of the ID's...  nightmare and nightmare to then fix.

If you want to keep reference to something else - I'd suggest adding in the Summary or Description or a separate attributes.  My advise (I'm not IBM) do not mess with the WI ID's

Regards

Matt Muller
