Is it possible to import work items with related links to work items in other project areas?

 Hello,


We are using CLM Suite 7.0.2, and have a csv file which is being used to import work items into a new work item type that's been created. The only thing the import does not do for us, as far as we know, is create links to existing work items in other project areas. Is there any way to do this, whether that be through some configuration of the csv file or maybe via the eclipse client?

 Timothy,


the Work Item Command Line (WCL) https://github.com/jazz-community/work-item-command-line is in general able to link across project areas. I have not tested this, but if you get the location URI e.g.  https://elm.example.com:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/94 it might work if you update the work item in your project areas with the remote work items. Note that the location URI is composed of a prefix without project area and the Unique ID on the server. You could create the location URI from the ID and the server URI.....

WCL has more options, but you would have to try out what works for this use case and what not.
