I assume you meant "move task/story from on RTC project area to another"?

If so, have you tried the "Move/Copy to Project Area..." operation on a
workitem?

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoffrey, 

"Move/Copy to Project Are" it working. Is there any way to do from the work item editor ? For example making " Project Area: field in workitem editor modifiable with an enumeration from which we can choose the project. 

PS: My question on this topic : https://jazz.net/forum/questions/167903/moving-a-task-from-a-plan-to-another-with-different-workflow
 

the only straight forward way is for you to create a new attribute, which is a dropdown list of projects, and then create a participant to move the workitem to the appropriate project.

Thanks Sam, 


We will end up to realize this project together :). 
I understand very well your proposl up to "a dropdown list of projects" but I need more details for the second part please. What do you mean with "create a participant to move the workitem to the appropriate project" :)

Thanks a lot,

there is the ability to extend the server side operations

1. advisor
      this does checking and could stop a save if there is invalid data or something
      cannot change data
2. participant (executed AFTER the save) ,
      can change the data in the workitem and save it AGAIN

see the workshops
https://jazz.net/library/article/1000
and
https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/running-rtc-4-x-extensions-workshop-with-rtc-5-0/

net, you would add a new enumeration to each workitem, which has the list of projects, and then u would select a different entry.. on save., the participant would then do whatever is needed to move the workitem to the other project, selected in the dropdown.  (I don't know all things that have to be done to accomplish the move)..

I am really against this approach.. the multiple unique tasks and you get 'part' of your kanban board view. The tasks will be there, but the actual state will not be in the board column header

thanks for your explanation. 

I will realy take into consideration your advice to not opt for this approach. I would like to have this way to do in the very last case.
