How do I move a project to another cleint

[zyll71]

Regulations have changed and I need to retrospectively re-assign projects and tasks to other internal clients for this year. The project's edit dialog does not allow me to make that change. How do I move a project to a different client?

I'm sorry I don't have good news for you – it's not possible to change a project's associated client through the UI.

However, you can re-assign the project(s) in the database, if this is very important to you.

Caution

REMEMBER to make a backup of your database before making ANY changes

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. We want to move "Testproject" from "Testclient" to "Testclient 2"
   
   

2. Connect to the database and open the table oc_timemanager_project, your prefix may be something other than oc_
   

3. Identify the projects you want to move using their title or uuid (you can see the uuid in the URL when you're on the project page)

4. Change the client_uuid to the uuid that matches the "Testclient 2" (taken from the URL in Nextcloud or the clients table in the database)
   

5. Double-check the project(s) have moved

I'm neither shocked nor intimidated by your answer. Only grateful for your workaround instructions. I'll give it a go. Thanks!
