Work Item - Is it possible to change value for create date field

Question

Hi,

We migrating all bugs from an old system to TFS 2010. Is it possible to change the createDate and ActivationDate?

When I try to change the field:

workItem.CreatedDate = date;

I get the following error:

Property or indexer 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItem.CreatedDate' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

Any ideas?

thanks,

Hello,

From you experience in wrokitem, you cannot change the created date filed in TFS, even using API's it's read only field.

Hello Billy_mk,

Ayman is correct that the WorkItem.CreatedDate property is read-only, you can’t modify the value of it. Please see: http://technet.microsoft.com/it-it/query/bb164799

Thanks,

Hi,

I was able to change the creation date by updating the DB directly.
