Move Work Items to different project on Azure Devops

Tags:

I am trying to move/copy my Work Items into a different project. I will need all the Epics, Features, User stories, Tasks, comments, links etc.

The steps given here show how to move a single work item, so my plan is to move my Epics which were only a handful and not have to move each and every user story/task. But unfortunately when the Epic is moved, the children are left behind.

Is there any other way to do this?

I saw this Excel solution, but doesn't look like its copying the comments.

Can I move work items between projects Azure DevOps?

You can only move work items from one project to another project within the organization or collection.

Can you export work items from Azure DevOps?

From any query, you can export a list of work items as a comma-delimited list. Open the query, choose the actions icon, and choose Export to CSV. To learn more, see Bulk import or update work items using CSV files. Requires Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1 or later version.

You may use a bulk move:

  1. Create new query to select your work items Create and save managed queries with the query editor: enter image description here
  2. Select all work items in the query result and select move: enter image description here
  3. Select your new team project: enter image description here
  4. Save all work items: enter image description here
