VSTS: Copying a task form one PBI to another PBI

Is there any way to copy Tasks from a PBI to another PBI in VSTS? I haven't found any resources in the VSTS documentation and from searching on google.

I know how to copy a PBI but if that PBI has some tasks, they will not be copied.

Follow below steps to copy the sub-tasks:

  1. Create a Tree of work items query.
  2. Open the query with Microsoft Excel
  3. In Excel, copy the Task contents from one PBI to another following the Tree hierarchy
  4. Click the 'Publish' to import the work items once complete the modification.

Please see Bulk add or modify work items with Excel for details.
