migrate only a specific epic with its child / linked workitems

[ambergoel]

hi ,

First of all thanks to development team. The tool is fantastic. I am able to do migration of all work items from one devops project to another devops project.
Now I want to migrate specific epic with all features and other worktimes associated with this epic.
Any suggestion.

I believe this should help in lieu of other responses for the experts:
I haven't seen a command that allows you to traverse a node in the config structure. However, I believe there are two ways to do this. One is the brute force and straightforward method which is to add all of the Work Items to the WorkItem List.

     "WorkItemIDs": [
          "97885",
          "98564",
          "99776"
        ],

Then leave
"LinkMigration": true,
Or to increase performance, and take care of it implicitly, modify the WIQLQueryBit to the only query that tree structure. That would look something like this.

"WIQLQueryBit": "AND [System.WorkItemType] NOT IN ('Test Suite', 'Test Plan') AND [System.WorkItemID] IN ('8938015', '898532', 423466)",

**If you can figure out how to form a separate select statement on that commandline you could add just the Epic WorkItem ID then add the 'expand=Children' parameter.
