Question

I try to migrate Azure DevOps boards from one organization to another.
And I use this tool: https://github.com/nkdAgility/azure-devops-migration-tools
I follow the instructions in the document but errors occur:

I follow some solutions from other articles, setup a custom column called 'ReflectedItemId' for workitem type 'Product Backlog' (just this
type).
And apply this self-define process (inherited form Scrum) to both source & destination project. And still can not fix it.
Then, I try to run the query shown above(error log) with Wiql playground extension on source project.
It says that "#TeamProject " is not a valid name, which means the query from source project is not working, not to mention the succeeding tasks
. Am I understand it right?
Please give me some suggestion.

Answer 1

This field is used to releate WorkItems migrated. You need to create it in your destiny project. For this, follow this steps:
1.- Create an inherited process
2.- For each work item, you have to create a field (for first) or use an existing field (for the next) with name "ReflectedWorkItemId"
3.- Start migration again
If you have been follow this steps, you should put in your config file this value "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId"
