How to create and link child work to parent work item while importing CSV file using WCL
Hi All,
I am using work item command line 4.1 for importing workitem from CSV to RTC, It is working properly
but I want to create parent with child work item from CSV
example type id summary children
task 12 task1 #14
task 14 task2
I want to create both mentioned work item as above with parent child relationship using work item command line
how can I do that please suggest me
Thank You !
Accepted answer
The documentation for WCL is a bit fragmented. Here the export/import: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/11/03/a-rtc-workitem-command-line-version-3-0/
It works very similar to the RTC CSV export and import, it also uses the same mapping file. (Which you can create a starter for by exporting).

Hi Ralph I have gone through all links regarding work item command line, for creating parent child work item simultaneously while importing CSV file into RTC using multipass command but after importing, child and parent work item created without linking
see the below exception
work Item 1121 specified but not found. Creating new work item
Exception! Link items - no targets found: @link_child = 1134
Ignored.......
It tries to create a link to work item 1121 which it can not locate. I don't know what the issue could be, and you should not expect me to debug it for you. Especially with almost no iformation from your side. You have the source code if you want.
So why is WI 1121 not existent?
Have you looked at the option /forcelinkcreation ?
Thanks Ralph :) now I am getting correct output
