custom action to copy a task from one project to another project

Is it possible to build a custom action to copy a task from one project to another project?

Set Action in the CA has "move item" but I couldn't see copy/paste. is it covered in another action?

Hi Avnish,

 

If that task don't have sub tasks, just create new item > task and copy the values manually from the CurrentObject() and change the parent to the new project.

 

Let me know if that makes sense.

 

Good luck!

Thanks, Tamir

 

This is very help and works.

 

I want to add a second item to update discussion topic on the current task to indicate that task has been copied. I selected Set Action 2 as Pin/Highlight Select Object Topic.

 

What goes in Container and Discussion Box? it doesn't take text it is expecting $filedname.  I just want a text that this task has been copied on the discussion topic of current task.

Avnish,

 

Can you please attach a screenshot of what you expect to happen in the UI?
