# Creating work items in bulk
## When to use
You can create large number of workitems through a text file input or interactively. Common use case is when planning a project or bug bash.
## How to use

```
> .\createWorkitemsInBulk.ps1
Sample Usage -
createWorkitemsinBulk.ps1 -workitem_titles ./my_wit_titles -wit_template ./my_wit_template
Template not provided will ask for default params interactively. Alternatively create a wit template and pass it to the script.
Organization URL: : https://dev.azure.com/baggaatul24
Project Name: : deletetest
Workitem Type: : Task
```
You will be prompted for workitem titles and keep creating new items as you press enter. Press Ctrl+C to break.
