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,

Is it possible to call more than 50 linked work items using the DevOps REST API?

Hi, 

I have already called more than 50. The maximum is 200.
