Is there a way to assign tasks from a project into a different project's iteration?

I have the problem whereby we have lots of projects. 1 for each client.

We have 1 project set up to represent a specific team's work load (bugs from the other projects)... it gathers tickets and tasks from the aforementioned projects via queries.

This has been fine... but i would now like to start creating sprints for the tasks that are coming from other projects.

I have tried to create tasks that have url references to the original tickets. this means i can utilise estimates and capacity... but it's a faff re-creating the items essentially.

Is there a way of doing this?

No, there is no way to calculate the remaing work from a Task work item in a different project.

The workaround id copy the Task and move the copied Task work item to the project and iteration. Details as below:

1. Copy the Task from a different project to the project you are working

Open the Task from the different project -> ... button -> Create copy of work item -> select your current project -> select Include existing links -> OK.

enter image description here

enter image description here

2. Specify related fields for the copied Task work item

The new copied Task work item will be opened, in the window, specify the iteration and remaining work for the Task -> Assign To the Task to the user -> Save & Close.

Then, in the project iteration you are working for, you can see the copied Task work item's remaining work is added for the user in the iteration.
