I am trying to use the azure-devops python pip package in order to migrate a large amount of Epic/Story/Feature tickets into Azure Devops. I can create singular tickets just fine, but I'm having trouble linking those tickets together by specifying the hierarchy (ticket A is a parent to child tickets B / C / D)
In order to create an EPIC ticket I'm running code like this:
#set field
jpo = JsonPatchOperation()
jpo.from_ = None
jpo.op = "add"
jpo.path = "/fields/Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.FinishDate"
jpo.value = default_field
jpos.append(jpo)
#create work item
createdWorkItem = wit_client.create_work_item(
document=jpos,
project=project.id,
type="EPIC",
validate_only=validate_only,
bypass_rules=bypass_rules,
suppress_notifications=suppress_notifications
)
Which works, but now I'm trying to figure out how to give this Epic ticket a linked Child ticket.
In the github repo for this azure-devops python package, I can see that in the definition for `create_work_item` there is a string variable `expand` which has an option for `Relations`
https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-python-api/blob/master/azure-devops/azure/devops/v5_1/work...
```
:param str expand: The expand parameters for work item attributes. Possible options are { None, Relations, Fields, Links, All }.
```
It's also discussed in the official azure-devops documentation for the create_work_item function:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wit/work-items/create?view=azure-devops-rest-...
But if I add `expand='Relations'` to my code it results in an error:
createdWorkItem = wit_client.create_work_item(
document=jpos,
project=project.id,
type="EPIC",
validate_only=validate_only,
bypass_rules=bypass_rules,
suppress_notifications=suppress_notifications,
expand='Relations'
)
`TypeError: WorkItemTrackingClient.create_work_item() got an unexpected keyword argument 'expand'`
Am I using this 'expand' variable correctly? Or is there a different way I should add a child ticket to an epic in azure using python? Thanks
