retagged Mar 22 '19, 9:44 a.m. by Ken Tessier (841●1●7) Hello all,
I am trying to bulk update the workitems and link the workitem with another with Link Type "Tracks". I have tried the below procedure to link the workitems.
Example :
ID Name Priority Parent
1234 Workitem Name Low #2663
It works for Parent , Child Link types but not for "Tracks" in CLM 606. Can some one suggest me how i achieve this.Help on this is appreciated.

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER If you are using the RTC Built In import, try to add a # in front of the work item number for work items that exist. I don't know if that is a limitation of the built in export/import.
I think that WCL can recreate tracks links. Note that it also has two different modes for export/import. One is using formats that mimic the RTC Export/import format. One uses its own format. The latter does not require the # in front of work item ID, if I remember correctly.

![]() From the Exporting work items help topic:
"The following data is not preserved when you use the Export Work Items wizard to export item data to a CSV file:
In contrast, standard reference links, such as Parent, Children, Duplicated By, and Depends On, are preserved when you export data to a CSV file."

Comments Thanks Ken. I assume that build result and change set links are also not preserved. They are not OSLC links, but also not work item links. |
Your answer
Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
