Currently i'm trying something out with TFS 2015. I red that it should be possible to add tasks (work-items) via the browser url. This is perfect for me if it is working like I expected :)
My current url (personal items removed)
https://{myurl}/tfs/DefaultCollection/{project}/_workItems#_a=new&witd=Task&[Title]=Do this&[Original Estimate]=1&[Remaining Work]=1&[??????PARENT?????]={??id??}&[System.AreaPath]={project}&[System.IterationPath]={project+iteration}
So far so good it's possible to add an item via the url, but I couldn't figure out how to add the parent link to the work item! I've tried [Node Name], [Parent], [System.NodeName], but none of them worked.
Does anyone have an idea how to create the link? Or is it not possible?
tnx in advance
Try to use [System.Linktypes] or [System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Reverse]
Moreover, suggest you to use REST API just as debugthings mentioned. Work Items|Rest API If you haven't already, look at the information on getting started with these APIs.
