Copy and Paste feature allows users to copy and paste the items in the Product tree in the same project or across the Projects/Solutions.
HOW IT WORKS:
There are 2 options that are available to paste the items under the target node and these are:
- Paste Work Item Code option – The copied item should be pasted under the selected target node.
- Paste and Keep option – Allows the user to paste the copied item multiple times in the same project or across projects
Paste Across Projects is applicable when we work in Solution which has multiple projects listed under it in the Product tree
HOW TO COPY AND PASTE THE ITEMS:
- Select the Product tree icon from Main Menu
- Select the Item and right-click the node with/without child items and select the Copy option.
- Right-click the target node under which you want to paste the item, users see 2 options here
- Paste Work Item Code – Item ID
- Paste and Keep
- When clicking on any of the options, Use gets the popup window of Paste Options
- Copy the “copy as link” items – This option creates a new work item as a linked instance, meaning any update created in one instance/copy will be reflected in the other one. We usually this option for test management copy.
- Copy Relations within copied items – Allows copying only the traced items that are present under the target parent node. Meaning all traced items located within the copied folder.
- Copy Relations to the copied from – Allows copying all traced items from the Traceability tab, including those within and outside the copied folder.
- Copy Attachments – Allows copying files in the Attachment Tab.
Items which are either copy as link items itself or item has related copy has link items cannot be pasted across projects
