 Dear Team,


some background:\
our workitem model : Release-> tracks-> Features ( one or many)

for this we have developed plugin for usability reasons so that in overview screen he can do such links rather than navigating to links section and select the right link type so on and so forth.

but this plugin  had some problems and which was overlooked and after productive usage , we realised backlinks are not being established when used with plugin.

i.e Features have link to Release but from Release there is backlink which is missing.

as there is lot of amount of data already in prod environment, now we would like to correct this. i would require guidance how to handle this ?
what i tried :
manual approach:
went to release workitem , added missing release and this works (doing removal , gets other side also removed)
Import workitems approach csv:
but there is no example on how to handle where we have already some existing links,because above document for fresh establish is okay. but if already have some entries doing so will remove everything.

Any ideas,how to programmatically fix it or any other mechanism other than manual way.

I see these versions of the same question:
I have seen this in the past. Probably not your fault. Some glitch in the forum software.
