Inline images in comments are not migrated

[jochencschmidt]

I've migrated a project from VSTS -> VSTS using the default configuration (created via init) and with FixHtmlAttachmentLinks switched to true.
Inline images in the description are shown, but those in the comments seem to be lost.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!

Hi, I think that there is currently no support for that. I think the resolution would be similar to the Description in that we need to download the images and add them as attachments.

This would require some code and testing.

We also need this enhancement.

I'm trying to get this working.

Rather than fixing the images as attachments in the target system, I'm converting the images to data URIs. This avoids an extra save step for the target work item while replaying history.

It mostly works, but I'm finding that even though as revisions are replayed the Description field is correctly updated, by the time the work item is finished being processed I'm sometimes missing the src attribute on some of the images.

If anyone can advise as to what's causing this, you can take a look at my fork's inline-images-in-comments-are-not-migrated branch.

It looks like this may be a dead end. HTML fields seem to have a maximum size of 32k, which could explain why my work items with multiple images in the description are having the src attributes removed.

I am facing the same issue, after taking the latest version of the tool and re-running it the links gets fixed for the images in the description section of the work item however for the images in the comment section it still points to the old org is there anyway to fix this or do i need to delete all migrated items and re-migrate from scratch

I have checked with Version 12.8 the images in the comment section are also migrated, i have enabled FixHtmlAttachmentLinks and AttachmentMigration to true

[MrHinsh]

Awesome! Thanks for validating that.

To setup this please check #1473

Yes i have migrated all my work items in one account to another seamlessly with all comments and images in the comments, it was Awesome experience.

Thank You @MrHinsh
