Hi, in my integration to Azure devops, i need to create a parent link after “Create Work Item”. i try the “Add Link to Work Item” but only set the hiperlink. Is possible create a parent link with other work Item or Epic?

Hi @Ortega,

 

I will be moving this thread to our Developer team to further discuss this issue. Thank you.

 

Hi @Ortega 👋

I just came across this and it doesn’t seem like this is related to an app integration you’re building so I’ve moved this topic back to the “How Do I?” category - sorry about the mix up here previously!

With the Add Link to Work Item action it’s expected that it would only add a hyperlink to the item. We do have an existing feature request for the ability to create child/sub items which was previously discussed in the Community over here:

So I’ve added your vote for that. I can’t make any promises as to when that functionality will be added but we’ll definitely email you as soon as it is. In the meantime, given the how long the feature request has been open for, perhaps you’d be able to use a API Request action or a Custom Action to update the item to select it’s parent in Azure? They’re a bit more advanced as you’d need to reference Azure’s API documentation but we have a general guide on how to set up API Requests here: Set up an API request action. And Custom actions have an AI feature that can help to set up the action for you: Create a custom action

Hope that helps. I’ll be closing this thread now as we’ve already got one thread tracking interest in that feature request. If you run into any issues on that just reach out on the main topic here and we’ll be happy to assist further! 🙂
