You could write some code that retrieves each work item (via a query), then retrieves the previous 'revision' of a work item, updates the work item with the previous values and saves the new revision.
To get the previous revision you could do it two ways: * Get the latest, then get the current revision - 1. WorkItem workItem7 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(id, <revision number>); * Get the work item "as of" the date the change was made: WorkItem workItem5 = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(id, new DateTime(2006, 4, 17)); Also, if the changed fields are "reportable" fields, then each revision also makes it into the warehouse. You can use the [Work Item] table in database TfsWarehouse. Each revision of every work item is stored in this table. The System_Id column is for work item id, and Work Item column is derived from work item id and revision number. For more information about this table, see Dimension Table for Work Items.<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244668.aspx#WorkItem> Grant From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Hunter Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 8:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] Rollback work items easily Hi Guys, Little bit of an emergency :) A staff member has managed to update all our work items using excel with the wrong value (via a paste from a totally different worksheet & then a publish I guess) which updated every single field in most work items to the wrong value. Apart from rolling back the database, it there another way to roll back to the previous change?
