Create remote link in target from parent link in source

[kimberleybrown]

Trying to see whether this is possible with the migration script. I have the following scenario:

A user story is in an org which has a parent belonging to another org. The team wants the user story to be migrated over to the new standard ADO but the parent will not be migrated since it belongs to another team. In that case, the team wants the parent to be converted to a 'remote link' in the migrated user story. I have tried the following code:

"Processors": [ { "ProcessorType": "TfsWorkItemMigrationProcessorOptions", "Enabled": true, "WIQLQuery": "SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @TeamProject AND [System.Id] IN (123456, 789100, 891011)", "LinkMigration": true, "AttachmentMigration": true, "AttachmentWorkingPath": "c:\\temp\\WorkItemAttachmentWorkingFolder\\", "WorkItemCreateRetryLimit": 5, "FilterWorkItemsThatAlreadyExistInTarget": true, "AttachmentMaxSize": 480000000, "GenerateMigrationComment": true, "MigrationComment": "This work item was migrated from a previous ADO project. Original Work Item ID: {sourceWorkItemId}", "LinkType": "Related", "LinkDetails": { "Url": "https://dev.azure.com/{projectname}/_workitems/edit/{parentWorkItemId}"", "Comment": "Link to parent work item" } } ],

The user story is brought over, along with its child link + related links, but there is no reference to the parentWorkItemId that is pointed to by LinkDetails. Is there something I'm missing or is this not something that's achievable with the script?

Thank you

No, we do not have any conversion from links to remote links at this time. Sounds like an interesting addition.
