Question

I need to copy a list of work items from one project to another project within an organisation in Azure Devops, is that possible? how to do that?

Answer 1

You can perform bulk import and export of work items using a CSV formatted file. Here are my steps:

1. Create a query to filter out all the work items you need to copy.
2. Add or remove columns to select the columns you need to copy.

3. Export your query to CSV.

4. Open the CSV file and delete the work item ID column. Save your changes.
5. Import work items in your another project and upload the CSV file.
6. The system highlights those work items with data issues. You need to resolve the data issues before you can save the work items.
