Export Azure DevOps Pipelines Generated Work Items

Hi,  Is there a way to export the work items linked to the Build or Release pipelines into an Excel file?

    Hi,

    there is an Azure DevOps Office Integration (Plugin), which allows to edit work items directly in Excel: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/backlogs/office/bulk-add-modify-work-items-excel?view=azure-devops&tabs=agile-process.
    But tbh, I never used or worked with that. 

    Alternatively, you can use the DevOps REST API to execute your tasks programmatically (e.g. with a python script). There are calls available to get builds and their linked work items.

Hi, 

I was just wondering if that’s the only available option to export the work items? I’ve tried applying detailed filters—such as title, state, assigned to, and date—to help exclude unrelated or unlinked items.

For now, I’ve been copying and pasting the work items directly into Excel, as I find it more convenient than managing the filters through the query.
