How to import from CSV to a Custom Work Item?

Hello,

Are you trying to import into the same Project Area (which contains the custom Work Item Type)? or to another Project Area which does not have the custom Work Item Type?

Thanks,

Hi,

How does the work item Type have to be specified ?

I have created a custom Work Item but when I tried Import values from a csv, They are imported in the Defect work item type.

Could Someone help me with that?

Elisa.

Hi Gabriel,

Into the same Project Area.

Well, that discarded the possibility of importing a non-existent Work Item Type.

Would you mind to share some extra context on your scenario, with possibly some sample data (e.g., 1 or 2 rows of the imported data, its column headers, any errors from the client while importing and the existent Work Item Type where it's intended to be exported to).

Thank you
Gabriel

There's two parts - your csv and the mapping xml. In your csv ensure you have a column that contains the work item type and give it a header of "Type". In your mapping xml, add an attribute snippet like this:
<attribute sourceId="Type" targetId="com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.workitemtype">
<value sourceId="/value in the csv Type column/" targetId="/id you gave the custom workitem when it was created/"/>
</attribute>
