Solution

  • To provide sync as well as migration it is important that the tools knows which items have already been migrated. This is the purpose of the ReflectedWorkItemId field.

    This field needs to be added to the Target Project Work Items. If you are using "UpdateSourceReflectedWorkItemID" then it also needs to be added to the Source.

    On both system the URL pointing to the migrated item on the other system is stored here. This means there is an easy way for a user to trace work items between the source and target systems (and vice versa).

    How the ReflectedWorkItemId field is added depends on whether the system.
