#2693: Quire Feedback
Status: To-do

Hi!

Let's say I have two projects. Default new tasks are created in project1, then I edit them, and then I want to move the task in project2. I select the task, hit Ctrl+X, the task gets gray, ok. Then I go to project2, hit Ctrl+V, default options, click on paste button. the task is now imported in project2. I can see the title, the due date, but when I open this task, I can see no description, no comments, well ... nothing.

Then I go back to project1, the task is still there and I should not (remember: I did Ctrl+X and not Ctrl+C). But I'm still happy because the contents: description, comments, are still there.

note: during all this, I stay in the same browser window.

note2: Ctrl+X/Ctrl+V works if I stay in the same project in the same browser window

note3: another bug: if I stay in the same project, but use two browser windows (one where I do Ctrl+X, another where I do Ctrl+V) then I have the same issue: the source task is not deleted, a new task is created in the destination, but without description+comments.

Please notice that it is quite convenient (and time saving!) to have one window to scroll the tasks and move them to another place using another window... As I often create new tasks at the same place(say my inbox), then sort/dispatch and cleanup later.

thanks !

Thanks, @peggy .... well...

ok "transfer to" works ... as a workaround. but it's painful. because transfered tasks are appended in the destination project. so, after transfering the task, I have to go to the destination project, and move them again to the place I want. that sooo many steps compared to a simple ctrl+x/ctrl+v.

also, please have a second look on note3 which seems to be a different problem.

what do you think of this ?

thanks for your help

For note 3, two browser tabs with the same project, cutting (Ctrl+X) and pasting the tasks couldn't be done due to technical difficulties. That's why when you paste the tasks, the behavior is the same as copying (Ctrl+C) the tasks, the source task isn't removed.

Hi @xavier.debacker , it looks like you are trying to Transferring the tasks to another project. You could 1) right-click, select "Transfer to" in the More menu. 2) drag the task to the project name at the sidebar.

As for Ctrl+X, cutting and pasting the tasks elsewhere, it's normally used in the same project. When you would like to move the tasks from one place to another.
