- Import of some attributes is still hard-coded
- Some attributes are not supported for import
Which are the attributes which are not supported and why!

Hi Friends,

I'm trying to import a csv file containing some sample stories into RTC.

I've used the fields as mentioned in the DefaultMapping.xml file. Since the "Type" parameter is not mentioned in the xml mapping file, all stories are imported as Defects.

While the mapping itself is quite easy to understand, if I want to add the "Type" field to the mapping, which defines the type of the work item, I first need to know the correct class object for this mapping; next I need to know how the different types viz., Epic, Story, Defect, Task map internally.

Could anyone provide me the details for mapping the "Type" parameter and also generally how I could find this information by myself as I know there may be other fields as well which I may need to map.

The link http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_importing_work_items_csv_file.html discusses this topic but not in the detail I require.

Thanks,
Shiva

Hi,

I can't tell you which attributes are hard coded. I will try to find someone who can. The why is most likely because of complexity and time. One I think only exports one result for example is the related artifacts.

I know that the type can be imported for sure. Best approach would be to create a query with the attributes you want and export that to excel. That'll give you the headline with the attribute Names you could use for import.
