Trying to use SuggestedValues from GlobalList gives error TF201067 when loading WIT to TFS2017.3 #44

Trying to use SuggestedValues from GlobalList gives error TF201067 when loading WIT to TFS2017.3

If I have the ListItem values for SuggestedValues under the Field definition in the WIT, it works.

However, when I move the same ListItem values under a GlobalList definition and try to use that GlobalList from the same Field definition, then WIT import fails and gives unrelated error message: "TF201067: You do not have permission to modify the work item type or field. You must have permission to modify work item types and fields in each team project where they are used. If you have the necessary permissions, your work item metadata cache may be out of date. Refresh any cached metadata and try the operation again."

Definitely, the error message is unrelated, because if I immediately move the ListItem values back to the SuggestedValues under the Field definition in the WIT, it works without issues.

It is important to be able to define the SuggestedValues as a GlobalList.

This may be better served by using the Rest Multi Value Extension in combination with these rest apis
