ReflectedWorkitemId field for "Shared Parameter"

[patware]

Trying to perform a migration to Azure DevOps and I'm getting an error:

"Not all work items in scope contain a valid ReflectedWorkItemId Field"

(from Azure DevOps Services to Azure DevOps Services, but two(2) different organizations)

Workitem at fault: Shared Parameter.

[11:40:20 WRN] ValidatingRequiredField: Shared Parameter does not contain Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId

But I can't figure how to customize this "Shared Parameter" workitem type. All I have are:

• Bug
• Epic
• Feature
• Impediment
• Product Backlog Item
• Task
• Test Case
• Test Plan
• Test Suite

I can't create a new Workitem Type with the name "Shared parameter": "VS403066: The work item type name Shared Parameter you specified is already in use. Choose a different name and try again."

I even tried to edit it by modifying the query string:

• _settings/process?process-name=Scrum-Migration&type-id=Scrum-Migration.SharedParameter&_a=layout
• _settings/process?process-name=Scrum-Migration&type-id=Scrum-Migration.Shared%20Parameter&_a=layout

Nope...

Any clue?

You might want to try the workaround mentioned in #518 You cannot customize any of the hidden WITs in Azure DevOps Services.

Thanks Wes,

I decided to delete the Shared Parameters so that I could move on with the migration. I know I could have simply filtered out Shared Parameter:

json "QueryBit": "AND [System.WorkItemType] IN ( 'Test Case','Shared Steps','Shared Parameter' )"

Also, I found how to "navigate" to the "Shared parameter" customization page:

• Navigate to the Azure DevOps team project > Test Plans > Parameters
• Select a shared parameter > Properties > "..." > Customize

Note: Updating the shared parameters:
There's a bug at MS, the page shows a "loading..." icon that runs forever, but the Browser's Developer Tools shows hundreds of exceptions in the console.
