Often times I create a project with several tasks. I realize several days later that I really should have put some of the created tasks under a different project. I would love to have a drop down menu in the task mode which would allow me to keep my task in the current project, or select a new project underwhich the task could now fall.

---OR----

An Admin Page that lets me move tasks, client projects around

Hi Jonathon,

The ability to move tasks between projects is included in 2.5 Corporate

Tasks, projects or other line items are sometimes sub-items of some other task, project or line item. Often you don’t understand this relationship when you initially create the task (For instance, you have a project called Invitational Tourney and later decide it is a sub-project of the bigger topic of Tourney Rewrite which addresses it and 6 other things).

Can I create a hierarchy of tasks and a hierarchy of projects and drag the hierarchy through dates and states as well as the individual items?

Not yet, of course that introduces a whole new level of complexity that we aren't prepared to add to our Standard/Corporate versions (as simple as they are some users still need hand-holding).

Contact me off-forum if you're interested in this though, as we are currently speccing our Enterprise version.

Ben, you mentioned that this function was possibly in version 2.5 corporate? We have just implemented version 2.6 and I can't seem to figure out how one would do this. Can you tell me how to move tasks between projects?

Go to the task view screen, click Copy at top right, select desired project.

Then you can delete the preexisting task.
