This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Mugil Karthikeyan
My old Azure DevOps Organization has multiple projects and I’d like to export and import the Azure DevOps Project between the organizations, especially the Work Items in Boards.
I came across the Microsoft document – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wit/work-items/create?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1&tabs=HTTP
Do we have any reference projects that uses Azure DevOps REST APIs to export and import the Azure DevOps Project?
Solution
No, there doesn’t have a built-in feature to achieve your requirement.
If you use F12 to capture the network traffic you will find the related request structure like this:
CSV file was not been uploaded directly, it was firstly been parsed and then put it into the request.
It is obviously unrealistic to use such a request because it is too complicated.
A feasible solution is to use the REST API to get the workitems information, and then save this information to a CSV file. Then read the CSV file information and fill it into the REST API of Create Workitems.
