Business value
This feature enhances reusability in Project Operations by enabling users to import tasks from existing projects, reducing the need for manual task creation.
Feature details
Currently, to bring tasks from another project into a new project, users must manually enter the task details in the task grid or use schedule APIs. They can also use the copy project feature to create a new project with the same tasks, but this has limitations:
- The entire project is copied, including unwanted tasks and extra information.
- Tasks from multiple projects cannot be combined into a new project.
This new feature allows users to select and import tasks from one or more existing projects into a new project, saving time and effort. Users can choose the project and tasks to import while adhering to the task limits per project as specified in the public documentation.
