A company is considering migrating from Azure DevOps Server too Azure DevOps Services, I am tasked with figuring out if it is possible to remove GDPR violations (Like Social Security Numbers) From Work Items, Wiki, Repos and comments.
The migration itself is gonna happen with the Microsoft Migration Tool
I have tried using the Azure DevOps API, but every change creates a new revision where the old information is stored, and those revision seem to be read only.
I have considered re-creating every single item since this would remove the history, however this option seem exaggerated, and close to impossible.
I found this stackoverflow question, saying the Work Item's history isn't transferred between migrations, this would make anything a lot easier.
So my question is, do you guys have any ideas, experience or suggestions for removing GDPR violations from DevOps Server before migrating?
