   workitem_client = ClientFactory.get_workitem_client(client_connection)

   3.2 If you want to manage projects, teams, team members

   project_client = ClientFactory.get_project_client(client_connection)

4. Manage TFS items

   4.1 Get workitems properties

   wi = workitem_client.get_single_workitem(100500)
   print('Item: Id={}, Title={}, State={}'.format(wi.id, wi.title, wi['System.State']))
   wi['Custom.Field'] = 'Value'
   wi.update_fields()
   print('Item custom field: {}'.format(wi['Custom.Field']))
   
   workitems = workitem_client.get_workitems([1, 2, 3])
   for wi in workitems:
       print('Item: id={}, Title={}'.format(wi.id, wi.title))

   4.2 Create workitem in current project

   wi_type_name = 'Requirement'
   wi_title = f'New requirement'
   wi_description = f'This BRQ was created by PyTfsClient'
   
   wi_fields = {
       'System.Title': wi_title,
       'System.Description': wi_description,
   }
   
   # Create workitem
   wi = workitem_client.create_workitem(wi_type_name, wi_fields)

   wi_project = f'AnotherProject'
   
   wi_type_name = 'User Story'
   wi_title = f'New user story'
   wi_description = f'This User Story was created by PyTfsClient'
   
   wi_fields = {
       'System.Title': wi_title,
       'System.Description': wi_description,
   }
   
   # Create workitem
   wi = workitem_client.create_workitem(type_name=wi_type_name, item_fields=wi_fields, project=wi_project)
