Migration failing with Credential scanning detected secret(s).

[meetshamir]

There is no secrets in the WI, just an email. Is there a way we can suppress this?

This is part of the new GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps features that are coming down the pipe. It has detected credentials in the work item and it will not be saved.

Maybe the email contains credentials?

Regardless there is no bypass and this WorkItem would need to be excluded from the Migration. You can do this by tagging it with "NoMigration" and then adding a clause to the query to exclude work items tagged in this way.
