Azure devops upload bugs with linked tests (id/ name)

Question

Is it possible to import/ upload bugs along with linked tests (by id/ name) in Azure devops?

The microsoft docs (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/queries/import-work-items-from-csv?view=azure-devops) mention about importing work ites with parent - child relationship. I need to import bug and associate it with test case id/ name (direct link relationship). E.g. In csv file I can mention bug title in one column and associated test case id/ name in other. Then I should be able to upload csv file, and test case should be automatically linked to bug after upload.

Answer 1

As I know this feature is not supported yet. We can't import bug and associate it with test case id/ name (direct link relationship) from csv file.

When creating Query, no field in filter can match the direct linked work item. Also, Exporting to csv option doesn't support this, see:

As an alternative way, I suggest you can post a feature request here in our DC forum(user voice forum). If it get enough points, the team would consider it seriously. Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

If you have linked the bugs/tests with work Item , it can be exported as a CSV, you can read about more here.
