example        type     id     summary       children

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 ?
