When linking a child WIT to a parent in TFS I'd like to copy values from the parent into a child WIT Template. If the parent WIT has a title of xyz and I'm linking a child WIT and creating a new template for it, I want to grab the parent values from certain fields, mainly title. I think people deciphered my original request but hopefully this is a little cleaner.

  • Welcome to stackoverflow! It's a bit unclear what you're asking. Try adding some more context, some code, and specifically state the problem/error you're getting. – kingsfoil Feb 05 '18 at 23:57

No, it's not supported.

Copy rule only available within the work item itself:

You can use the COPY, DEFAULT, and SERVERDEFAULT elements to copy a value from one field to another, copy a server value into a field, or specify a default value to be defined for a field.

Source here: Define a default value or copy a value to a field

Parent/Child just links between work items, but no any relationship eachother accross the value of the fileds.
