When I import a Work Item Type from Team Review, I get this error:

TF218007: Cannot import the work item type. It changes fields in team projects
in which you do not have permissions to make changes. Correct this problem by
changing the definition of the work item type so that it does not change the
name or reporting behavior of these fields:
Microsoft.VSTS.Common.StateChangeDate, System.ExternalLinkCount,
System.HyperLinkCount, System.AttachedFileCount
Or obtain permissions to make
changes to these team projects: Project2
Operation failed.

What should I change in the WIT definition?

    First off, check to see if you have administrator priveliges in “Project2.” If that doesn’t work, export one of the WorkItemTypes in Project2, and examine the XML. Look for the mentioned fields:

    Microsoft.VSTS.Common.StateChangeDate,
    System.ExternalLinkCount,
    System.HyperLinkCount,
    System.AttachedFileCount

    And make sure the definition in your WorkItemType matches them. It sounds like you may have either deleted or modified those fields somehow.
