Question about importing

I am testing out TFS right now, and trying to get our Process Template set up. I am wondering if you can change your Work Items once you have imported in your Process Template.<br><br>i.e. I finish editing our Process Template and import it into our TFS and create a new project. Now, 6 months later someone wants me to add a new field to a WI or a new WI completely. Is it possible to just export our Process Template, edit it and re import it, and continue on (will our project update all the fields, WI's etc.?) or do we have to start out from scratch again with a new project? What are the keys to doing this a seamlessly as possible? Thanks for any help.

Yes, check witimport and witexport tools help at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253163.aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253051.aspx . You can import current process template using UI as well.

Most people do the import export by using a script that uses our WorkItemTracking object model. If they are few items, you can do "copy workitem" by right clicking on a workitem and specifying target project/workitemtype

What about importing global lists? Is there a similar command?
