To export work item type, run this command:
witadmin exportwitd /collection:[team project collection URI] /p:[project_name] /n:[work item type name] /f:[destination file]examples:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE>witadmin exportwitd /collection:"http://myTFSserver/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /n:Bug /f:C:\Users\me\Desktop\bug.xml C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE>witadmin exportwitd /collection:"http://myTFSserver/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /n:"Product Backlog Item" /f:c:\Users\me\Desktop\pib.xml
To import work item type, run this command:
witadmin importwitd /collection:[team project collection URI] /p:[project_name] /f:[source file]example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE>witadmin importwitd /collection:"http://myTFSserver/tfs/DefaultCollection" /p:MyProject /f:c:\Users\me\Desktop\task.xml
