Test Case Loses Relation Links of type Tests

[domenicr]

Using the "WorkItemMigrationConfig" to copy Test Cases does not keep any relation links of type Tests.

Here is my config
"Processors": [
{
"$type": "WorkItemMigrationConfig",
"Enabled": true,
"ReplayRevisions": false,
"PrefixProjectToNodes": false,

"UpdateCreatedBy": true,

Links are migrated for all work items in scope for the migration.

If TestCaseA tests ProductBacklogItemA then when TestCaseA is migrated it will not create any links because ProductBacklogItemA does not yet exist. When ProductBacklogItemA is migrated the TestedBy link will be added back to TestCaseA.

If TestCaseB is not migrated and it also tests ProductBacklogItemA then that link will not be added or created as TestCaseB does not exist in the target project. If both the Target and the Source are in the same collection/organisation then you can set AllowCrossProjectLinking to true and have the links re-added when the right-hand-side of the link is in another project.

PBIA does exist, in the source project, why doesn't the migrated Test Case continue to reference it? Is this an ADO limitation?
When PBIA is migrated which, TC will it reference, the source or the migrated? If it is the migrated how does it do that, through the migrate field I am guessing?

[MrHinsh]

No Source Links are kept: both the left and right side of a link, by default, is in the target.

All links for WorkItems that exist at the time WorkItem links are processed is added.

If there was an interrupt, you would need to set FilterWorkItemsThatAlreadyExistInTarget to false to load and process all of the work items again.
