如何在JavaScript中以编程方式为tfs在两个工作项之间创建链接？

Question

I'm doing some programming for TFS 2015, and I have two work items that I need to add a link between. I have both work items called, and both of their ids; However, I can't figure out how to add the new link. Does anyone know how to, or have any helpful resources I can use?

Answer 1

You need to define what type of link to add by using WorkItemLinkTypeEnd Class , then add the link as related link by using RelatedLink Class .

Here is a .net example in this blog , you may refer to it:

try
{
    LinkTypeItem type = combo_types.SelectedItem as LinkTypeItem;
    int from_wit = Convert.ToInt32(txt_wit_from.Text);
    int to_wit = Convert.ToInt32(txt_wit_to.Text);

    WorkItem from = store.GetWorkItem(from_wit);

    //Define what type of link to add.
    //Child, Parent etc…
    WorkItemLinkTypeEnd linkTypeEnd = store.WorkItemLinkTypes.LinkTypeEnds[type.ReverseEnd.Name];
    //Add the link as related link.
    from.Links.Add(new RelatedLink(linkTypeEnd, to_wit));
    from.Save();

    MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Work Item {0}, is {1} of Work Item {2}",
        from_wit, type.ReverseEnd.Name, to_wit),
        "Relation Saved",MessageBoxButton.OK,MessageBoxImage.Information);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message,"Cannot Save Work Item Relation",MessageBoxButton.OK,
        MessageBoxImage.Error);
}

"TFS/WorkItemTracking/RestClient" calls VSTS Rest API to perform the operations. You can use the updateWorkItem() method to add a link to the workitem.

updateWorkItem()

Syntax

 IPromise<Contracts.WorkItem> updateWorkItem(document, id, validateOnly, bypassRules) 

Add the required information in "document" and then call the method. Information can be found here: Add a link .
