Is there a way to Link a parent to a group of work items

Question

I'm using Excel to bulk edit a group of work items in TFS 2012.

I can add a Link to a Parent work item on each record, but only if I do it line-by-line.

Is there a way that I can link a Parent to a group of work items?

Answer 1

I was able to accomplish this by changing my query to result a Tree View, and also include the Parent work items.

Answer 2

You have to go the other direction. If you open the parent work item and add a 'Child' link, you can specify a list of work item ids to make children.
