Copy a work item and specific related work items

Question

TFS 2010 has a built copy work item functionality. I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool exists that can take this feature a little bit further. I'd like to be able to copy a work item plus other specific related work items and the links to those work items.

This almost does exactly what I need, except it doesn't copy across projects.

Answer 1

This is what I'm using at work: http://tfsintegration.codeplex.com/ (Actually, we're using the supported version at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/f854dd59-8eeb-4673-8d9a-ae012989bfa2).

It can be configured to copy from one team project to another on the same server easily. Work item types do not have to be identical, you can define transformations if necessary.

If you need to extend something, this is what I would recommend starting with.
