• Nouknitouk WorkItem programmatic migration query

  I'm working on a set of migration apps at the moment to move issues from our existing issue tracking system into VSTS Work Items.

  I am trying to define my own work item called Milestone. I would like to associate one or more other work items (like Bugs, Tasks) with this Milestone. The idea is that I cannot finish (set “Finished” state) my Milestone unless every work item associated with my Milestone is finished. I cannot also associate one Milestone with other Milestone.
