SharePoint List to ADO Work Item

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by mbhammad

Hi Everyone,

We have a SharePoint (SP) list where users create/modify items and ALWAYS attach a file within the list. Below is what I'm trying to achieve:

When a SP List Item is Created or Modified, Create or Modify a Work Item (Task) on Azure DevOps (ADO)

AND

Attach the List Item Attachment File to that same Work Item (Task) on ADO ... OR.... Save the Attachment File in the ADO Repository and Link it with the related Work Item (Task)

Please help! Thank you in advance.

Hi @mbhammad,

You could refer to the following steps to create the work item of DevOps according to the created or modified items in the SharePoint, then add the attachments into it.

This is the whole steps:

These are key steps that you need to notice is send the HTTP request to create the Attachment.

- Upload Attachment

Full documentation for this endpoint can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wit/attachments/create?view=azure-devops-rest...

- Parse JSON

{ "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "type": "string" }, "url": { "type": "string" } } }

- Relate Attachment

Full documentation for this call can be found here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/wit/work%20items/update?view=azure-devops-rest-5.0

This is a simplified step, a lot of details have been omitted, the specific source is from @MattWeston365, if you want to know more, you can click on this blog:

Thank You @v-litu-msft .. It works great for new items.. But when an item is modified on SP, it creates a "New" work item on Azure DevOps (ADO).. Can it update the same/existing work item and attachment on ADO?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi @mbhammad,

Yes, you can use the Get Work item details action instead of Create a new item action, then put the Dynamic content of Get work item details into these previous steps.
