Issue in linking workitems with "Tracks" Link type while importing from .csv file
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.

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:
- Work item history
- Approval history
- Attachments
- All Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) reference links. For example, Contributes To, Tracks, Affects Plan Item, Affected By Defect, Related Change Request, Tracks Requirement. As a result, while you can use the Import Work Items wizard to import work items in CSV files that include URI reference links, the import operation does not automatically create the backlinks in the referenced items.
In contrast, standard reference links, such as Parent, Children, Duplicated By, and Depends On, are preserved when you export data to a CSV file."
