Error The work item type Product Backlog Item cannot be found

Question

Fixed: Turns out I had to change the project to my InheritedProcess containing the ReflectedWorkItemId for it to work. My migration just ran. Thanks for the help!

Please close this!

I'm trying to use this migration tool to test out a migration. I have a source project and target project. Both on ADO and in the same organization. I have created the field "ReflectedWorkItemId" for my organization under an inherited process for SCRUM process as follows:

Error I'm getting is:

[12:08:55 INF] !! After removing all found work items there are 134 remaining to be migrated.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I have already verified that "Task" does indeed contain the ReflectedWorkItemId

Answer 1

Check your project process type to ensure that it inherits Scrum, or Product Backlog Item will not be available as an item type.

Check your project process to ensure that the ReflectedItemId field exists in the destination project.
