Personal Access Token not working
See original GitHub issueWhen using PAT in configuration.json, a login dialog (AAD) appears. I planned on using the migration tool in an Azure Devops Pipeline, but this is not possible if graphical user login is required. To my understanding, providing a Personal Access Token should prevent login dialogues from appearing. When login information is entered, the migration tool works as intended. If the dialog is canceled, the following exception is thrown:
Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TeamFoundationServerUnauthorizedException: TF30063: You are not authorized to access https://****/. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

Source and Target look like that in configuration.json:
"Source": {
"Collection": "https://dev.azure.com/organization1/",
"Project": "origin",
"ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName": "ReflectedWorkItemId",
"AllowCrossProjectLinking": false,
"PersonalAccessToken": "***"
},
"Target": {
"Collection": "https://dev.azure.com/organization1/",
"Project": "target",
"ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName": "ReflectedWorkItemId",
"AllowCrossProjectLinking": false,
"PersonalAccessToken": "***"
},

This tool required UI integration. PAT tokens are only supported for images.
@f2calv it is more likely that the documentation is missing 😦
