The Azure DevOps Migration Tools allow you to bulk edit and migrate data between Team Projects on both Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Azure DevOps Services. Take a look at the [documentation](https://nkdagility.com/learn/azure-devops-migration-tools/) to find out how. This project is published as [code on GitHub](https://github.com/nkdAgility/azure-devops-migration-tools/) as well as a Winget package a `nkdAgility.AzureDevOpsMigrationTools`.

## Field Maps
109-
110-
By default, when you are moving from source to target the system will map all of the fields that exist in source to the same field in the target. This is the behavior if the **FieldMaps** section is not present in the configuration file.
111-
112-
However sometimes you want to move data to another field, or use a regex to parse out just the bits that you want. To help we have built a number of mapping tools that should give you the versatility you need.

## Why does this exist
118-
The main migration tool for TFS has always been the TFS Integration Tools which is sadly no longer supported. Indeed it only loosely supported versions of TFS after 2010 and had a lot of bugs. It was very difficult to configure and run. This tool hopes to solve some of that by providing support for TFS 2015 and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).
119-
120-
It solves:
121-
122-
* Supports all currently supported version of TFS
123-
* Supports Azure DevOps Services
124-
* Migrates work items from one instance of TFS or Azure DevOps to another
125-
* Bulk edits fields in place for both TFS and Azure DevOps Services
126-
* Being able to migrate Test Plans an Suits from one Team Project to another
127-
* Being able to migrate Teams from one Team Project to another
