You could script something to iterate through and delete the changesets? |

Do you have an example that I can look at? |

Not really... You would need to call the API and get the work items, then iterate through and update with a remove for each changeset. I have code that iterates through workitems and does an update on https://github.com/nkdAgility/Azure-DevOps-WorkItem-Clone Funding for us doing work on this tool is generally through 1) customer funding, or 2) donated free time. |

We migrated using the azure devops migration tool from ADO Server to ADO Services however since the source code was not migrated the changeset links are broken. However, we are encountering a situation where in ADO Services the new changeset are now being relink to an incorrect changeset.
For example:
In ADO Server the changeset is 10979 (see Original ADO Server1.png) since we migrated to ADO Services that changeset is no longer valid. However, in ADO Services (see migrated to ADOServices1.png) it is now relink to a different change even though the number is the same. In the pictures you will notice in the Original ADO Server1.png the change set is from 10/11/2016 (Changeset 10979) however in the Migrated to ADO Services1.png the changeset is the same however notice it was updated Aug 31 2024. These are 2 different changeset not related to the original changest.
I'm asking if there is a way to scrub these old external links (changeset) from the work item using the tool. Pretty much scrub all external links completely from the migrated work items (it is not needed as it will not link back to the original changeset).
Thank you in advance.
