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.

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
