I was planning on doing it in excel and publishing the changes back to TFS but I’m getting TF84013, which this link says is because html editing in excel is "In short, edit from excel in any HTML field is not supported at this time."
Any ideas? Do I have to go directly into TFS, I’m trying really hard from SQLing the DB directly, I think I’d sooner write a little console app to do it for me.
You don’t have to interact with the SQL Database to solve your problem. (and you should always stay away from that).
There’s an API for TFS that is really easy to use where you can open a Work Item, then update its fields and save it. So the best way is to write a little tool to do that.
Look at this post as a starting point.
