When copying a work item in TFS can i control the link created between the items?

When I copy a work item in TFS (a bug for example), the link between the parent work item and the newly created item is always set to related. I want to change the default link type created when copying since I want to use a custom link type i created.I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

Solution

  • We cannot control the link type when copying a work item.

    However you can delete the related links, then add them again with selecting other link types (custom link type in your scenario) with TFS API.

    Please refer to below articles for more information.
