MigrationTools.Exceptions.MigrationToolsException: Unable to load Common Structure for Target

[BenedictSteffens]

Hi,
I am trying to Export one Azure DevOps Area to another Project. The Configuration file looks like this:

"Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": "Debug"
  },
  "MigrationTools": {
    "Version": "16.0",
    "Endpoints": {
      "Source": {
        "EndpointType": "TfsTeamProjectEndpoint",
        "Collection": "XXX",
        "Project": "XXX",
        "Authentication": {
          "AuthenticationMode": "Prompt",
          "NetworkCredentials": {
            "Domain": "",
            "UserName": "",
            "Password": "** removed as a secret ***"
          },
          "AccessToken": "XXX"
        },
        "ReflectedWorkItemIdField": "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId",
        "LanguageMaps": {
          "AreaPath": "Area",
          "IterationPath": "Iteration"
        }
      },
      "Target": {
        "EndpointType": "TfsTeamProjectEndpoint",
        "Collection": "XXX",
        "Project": "XXX",
        "Authentication": {
          "AuthenticationMode": "Prompt",
          "NetworkCredentials": {
            "Domain": "",
            "UserName": "",
            "Password": "** removed as a secret ***"
          },
          "AccessToken": "XXX"
        },
        "ReflectedWorkItemIdField": "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId",
        "LanguageMaps": {
          "AreaPath": "Area",
          "IterationPath": "Iteration"

Executing the Migration Tool with this Config leads to the following Exception. Both Azure DevOps Projects are in English, therefore I dont understand the exception:

[14:42:46 FTL] [16.0.9] An error occurred in the Migration Tools causing it to stop! This is likley due to a configuration issue and is not being logged remotely. You can always ask on https://github.com/nkdAgility/azure-devops-migration-tools/discussions
MigrationTools.Exceptions.MigrationToolsException: Unable to load Common Structure for Target.This is usually due to TFS having a different installed langauge version than was expected.. Validate that 'Area' is the correct name in your version. This would be something like 'Fläche' or 'Aire'. If you open the area tree in Visual Studio, or web access, you should see the name your langauage uses for 'Area' or 'Iteration. Do not try to add a specific area or iteration path to this field. Check the defaults on https://nkdagility.com/learn/azure-devops-migration-tools/Reference/Endpoints/TfsTeamProjectEndpoint/ for an example fro English.

@MrHinsh any help is appreciated!

[MrHinsh]

What you have posted is not a valid JSON file and will not be able to be loaded by the tool!

[MrHinsh]

Also prompt tends not to work for ADO. Use PAT tokens.

@MrHinsh. We can only register with prompt, with PAT we cant register. After succesfull registration we are getting the iteration/area error as stated in the error message above.
