copy Work item while preserving the Links
Hello,
we have customers using CCM 4.0.4. They use User Story A which have summaries longer than 250 characters. These WIs are linked to another User stories B, C) which in turn have summaries longer than 250 characters. Initially, the customers needed to create a template out of this User Story A and we noticed this scenario lead to an error. The Jazz Development Team is currently involved and look into the issue (11th of Aug 2014). An workaround will be to shorten the summary which is an unacceptable solution for the customer. Is there any other way of creating Copy of the WorkItems which preserves in the Link tab the original Links as they were initially created (Children B, Children C) and not only creating only a Link Type: Copy of the Parent A? Thank you, Zica |

Other than creating a template, I can't think of any other way.

Hello,
you may try and use CSV Export and Import
- export: to create the "templates"
- import: to create a new set of work items from the template
See https://jazz.net/library/article/69
for more details about CSV Export / Import
Hope it helps,
Eric

A link has 2 values: a name and the reference.
Ah right Franck.
Where in the work item template, links are parameterized, so that they link newly created resources,
in the CSV file, id's are hard coded - so we'll link original resources and not newly create ones.
Not good

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
