I am migrating workitems from TFS 2015 Update 3 to VSTS and running into an error::InvalidEmpty for field [Value Area] value []". Queries on the source display "Business" as the value for all Workitems. Any help is appreciated.

  • How do you query on the source? Do you mean create a query with Value Area filter? – starian chen-MSFT Feb 23 '18 at 05:51
  • Yes, a query shows the value as being set. What may be causing the issue that Rev 1 of the workitem does not have a Value Area by itself. Later revisions of the workitem have it. So when it is trying to create one/migrate in VSTS, VSTS is making sure that the value is present in revision 1 hence failing and blocking way for the revision that has the vale area set. – logicatwork Feb 26 '18 at 14:08
  • How many workitems have this issue? – starian chen-MSFT Feb 27 '18 at 02:12
  • all of them since they were all created based on the source version. – logicatwork Oct 20 '18 at 22:09
