Cannot migrate dynamic test suites if one field from the query does not exist in the targeted system.

[martinandovski-rldatix]

Describe your issue:

We are trying to migrate all test plans and test suites from one to another ADO instance and when we try to migrate it fails. The error given is because on field does not exist in the new ADO and I can't find a proper way to map this field to be replaced when this test suite is created.

Describe any Exceptions:

AllocateScrum.StatusofAutomation does not exist in the new system and we need to map it with RLD Automation Status.

What I did:
"FieldMaps": [
{
"$type": "FieldtoFieldMultiMapConfig",
"WorkItemTypeName": "*",
"SourceToTargetMappings": {
"Status of Automation": "RLD Automation Status"
}
},
],
{
"$type": "TestPlansAndSuitesMigrationConfig",
"Enabled": true,
"PrefixProjectToNodes": false,
"OnlyElementsWithTag": null,
"TestPlanQueryBit": "PlanName = 'Optima - Automation'",
"RemoveAllLinks": false,
"MigrationDelay": 0,
"UseCommonNodeStructureEnricherConfig": false,
"NodeBasePaths": [
"optima"
],
"AreaMaps": {
"Optima": "optima",
},
"IterationMaps": {
"Optima": "optima"
},
"RemoveInvalidTestSuiteLinks": true,
"FilterCompleted": false
}

Error:
FAILED DynamicTestSuite : 0 - DK Releases

Correct the query must be valid on both the source and the target.

You can use OnlyElementsWithTag to filter for specific plans in the source.

[martinandovski-rldatix]

Can this be implemented so we can map the fields. We use lot of custom fields and we will need to map them when transferring the test plans.

Works perfectly fine for work items, but not for test plans. I believe this also will be the case when transferring shared queries?

[MrHinsh]

With the current system its not possible to migrate fields for Test Plans. They are kinda hybrid between work items and a custom data set and we migrate them as a custom data set. The work item is never migrated.

We could perhaps look at injecting a field map into the Migration process, but we have never looked at that at all and don't know the implications.

[MrHinsh]

There is absolutely no way to migrate the history of a TestPlan or Suit...
