Issue- Hyperlinks are not being preserved in the target description during work item migration in EWM
Hi Community team members,
We are experiencing an issue with data migration of work items from EWM source to EWM target, we are using queries to create the WI data and importing it to the target by doing some manipulation, but hyperlinks in the description field are not being preserved in the target system description.
I would appreciate your help in this forum as we are currently stuck in a critical situation.
Thanks,
Biswadeb

If you're creating a query and exporting it as a basic CSV, then you lose all the HTML styling in the Description field, which is why you lose links.
If you create the query and use the Eclipse client to export, then you can set fields to use the Internal Format, which should give you a better result. See:

The other approach is to use the Work Item Command Line utility, written be Ralph Schoon, and export/import in XML format:
