Azure devops migration tools cant find required field

333 Views Asked by At

I am trying to migrate an Azure DevOps project from one organization to another organization. I get the following message at console output.

[08:22:35 INF] Found target project as myTestProject [08:22:35 WRN] ValidatingRequiredField: Epic does not contain Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId

Do this mean that the custom process used has to be used in target project? If so, is there a method to export processes in Azure DevOps?

The message actually only means that the Epic work item is missing the ReflectedWorkItemId field (see documentation and documentation 2).

The field is used to store the state of the migration. Each affected WI Type (Source + Target) must have this field. Depending on the Process Model type you use the old tooling (witadmin) or the new tooling(web access).

"Custom" actually only means a derived process template. With the inheritance model you cannot change the template directly, but derive from the Microsoft original.
